Yiyun Li's Gold Boy, Emerald Girl October 5, 2010

Yiyun Li has recently been named a MacArthur genius and featured as one of the Top 20 Writers under 40 by The New Yorker. Her latest collection of short stories, Gold Boy, Emerald Girl, has been heralded as "brilliant" by Publishers Weekly and "further proof that [she] deserves to be considered among the best living fiction writers" by Kirkus Review. The nine stories describe the rich tableaux of China and Chinese America, intermingling transnational politics and folklore, surrogate mothers and a private detective agency of feisty old women, and creating a dazzling world as vast as the human condition. Join us for this reading and conversation with editor Brigid Hughes.
