Happy New Year!
We are pleased to announce a very special event on Friday January 16th at 6:30PM at our store. Janice Y.K. Lee will do a reading from her novel The Piano Teacher. Recently featured in Elle, Janice's debut is creating a buzz among literary circles. The Piano Teacher is a labor of love. Taking place in WW2 Hong Kong, the novel is both a transformative and beguiling journey. Written mostly during two of Janice's pregnancys, after her MFA from Hunter College under the guidance of author Chang-rae Lee, it is truly a labor of love.
"Rarely does one encounter a debut work as beguiling and assured as Janice Lee's The Piano Teacher. Rich with intrigue, romance, and betrayal, this wonderfully written novel dazzles with sharp-eyed renderings of beau monde Hong Kong as it is plunged into the crucible of war. Withits fascinating interplay of East and West and wide cast of effervescent characters, especially the singularly haunting Trudy Liang, this is a truly transporting- and indeed irresistible- work of fiction."
-Chang-Rae Lee, author of Native Speaker
