Jade Chang's funny and moving novel, The Wangs Vs. the World, was one of the most exciting debuts of 2016. When Charles Wang loses the business he's built, his home in Beverly Hills, and every other marker of his success in America, he piles his family into an ancient Mercedes for a cross-country road trip. Along the way, Charles, his wife, and their three children encounter one setback after another but also reflect on just what it means to be an immigrant and a family.

Join us for a conversation with Jade Chang about immigrant stories, the art world, road trips, and more.

A Q&A and book signing will follow the event. Books available for purchase from Third Place Books.

This event is sponsored by the King County Library System Foundation.
