AN EVENING WITH CURTIS CHIN
Saugatuck Woman's Club
303 Butler Street, Saugatuck
Tuesday, October 28 at 6:30pm
Doors open at 6:00pm
Curtis will be signing copies of his memoir after the program. The book will be available for purchase through The Book Nook of Saugatuck.
This memoir chronicles Curtis Chin’s personal history as a Chinese-American raised in Detroit and its suburbs. The book offers amusing and poignant insights into the daily workings of a beloved family restaurant that nurtured and fed people from all walks of life in 1980s Detroit.
The story also chronicles his experiences as a gay Asian-American in urban Detroit, the suburbs of Troy, and the campus of the University of Michigan. After graduating, Chin co-founded the Asian American Writers’ Workshop and then went on to a writing career in television and documentary filmmaking.
THIS EVENT IS CO-SPONSORED BY:
