About
One of the most celebrated literary voices of her generation comes to Philadelphia. New York Times bestselling author R.F. Kuang — whose works include The Poppy War trilogy, Babel, and Yellowface — makes a special live appearance in honor of her most anticipated novel yet.
With Taipei Story, Kuang ventures somewhere new: inward. The novel follows Lily, a young woman suspended between cultures, who travels to Taiwan searching for the sense of belonging she's never quite found at home. What she uncovers instead is a reckoning — with language, inheritance, and the stories we inherit from those who came before us. Intimate, searching, and emotionally precise, Taipei Story marks a bold new chapter in Kuang's already remarkable career.
Don't miss an evening of lively conversation as Kuang joins author Angie Kim (Miracle Creek) to explore questions of identity, memory, and the pull of home across continents. The moderated conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing.
All paid tickets will include one (1) deluxe hardcover of Taipei Story (retail value $32)
