DESCRIPTION:A Conversation with Vietnamese American Award-Winning Author\n\nAndrew Lam 
 is the web editor of New America Media and a regular blogger for the 
 Huffington Post. He was also a contributor to NPR’s 'All Things 
 Considered'. His collection of essays, Perfume Dreams: Reflections on the 
 Vietnamese Diaspora, which contends with the problem of identity as a 
 Vietnamese living in the US, received the PEN Open Book Award in 2006. His 
 second book, East Eats West: Writing in Two Hemispheres, a meditation on 
 how Asian immigration changed the West, was named Top Ten Indies by Shelf 
 Unbound magazine. Birds of Paradise Lost, a collection of short fiction 
 about Vietnamese newcomers struggling to remake themselves in the San 
 Francisco Bay, was a finalist for the California Book Award and won the 
 Josephine Miles award for fiction in 2013. Lam’s interview of Ken Burns 
 and Lynn Novick, creators of the new documentary series The Vietnam War 
 appears in Salon.com. Lam’s father, Lam Quang Thi, a lieutenant general 
 in the South Vietnamese army, was interviewed in the film.\n\nJoin us for a 
 compelling night of readings with the author followed by a Q & A session, 
 which promises to be an engaging exploration of the human costs of 
 immigration and the personal weight of history and memory.\n\nDoors open at 
 6:15pm\n\nTickets In Advance $10 (Students $5)  Tickets $12 (at the
