Michael Luo, the executive editor of The New Yorker discusses his landmark study of the Chinese in America with Matthew Purdy, editor at large of The New York Times.. “You can’t paint a complete picture of America without [the story of Chinese Americans], and the New Yorker journalist Michael Luo tells it persuasively in ‘Strangers in the Land‘… [The book] succeeds through its little biographies of individuals – a range of quirky and fascinating figures, both Chinese and white, who drive the narrative. . . [and offer] a view on the full complexity of American immigration.” ―The New York Times Book Review

Doors open at 6 p.m. The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and book sales and signing with Watchung Booksellers.
