by annevm

"I came of age before ethnic was cool," Bich Minh Nguyen writes in her memoir, Stealing Buddha's Dinner. On Feb. 10 from 5:30-6 p.m., U-M English Professor Peter Ho Davies will be in U-M Hatcher Graduate Library talking with Nguyen in a live two-way webcast from West Lafayette, Indiana, discussing writing, family, and American junk food. Davies will draw on his own background (he was born in England to Welsh and Chinese parents). Nguyen's memoir -- the 2009-2010 Michigan Humanities Council Great Michigan Read Book -- chronicles her migration from Vietnam in 1975 and her coming of age in Grand Rapids in the '80s. This discussion is sponsored by the Author's Forum, a collaboration between University Library, U-M Institute for the Humanities, Great Lakes Literary Arts Center, and the Ann Arbor Book Festival.
