In Celebration of Fang Si-Chi's First Love Paradise!
A Conversation with Soje, translator of To the Warm Horizon, Unexpected Vanilla.
RSVP here (livestream available)
Special collaboration with Taipei Cultural Center of New York, Accent Society, and Artbean Roasters Coffee.

One of the biggest books to come out of Taiwan in the last decade, Fang Si-Chi’s First Love Paradise is a chilling tale of grooming and its lingering trauma, and the power structures that allow it to flourish. Insightful, unsettling, emotionally raw, it is a staggering work of literature that reverberates across cultures and forces us to confront painful truths about the vulnerability and strength of women and those who use and hurt them.

The event will take place at AAWW’s space, at 112 West 27th Street #600 New York, NY 10001 and via live stream!

Soje is a poet and the translator of Lee Hyemi’s Unexpected Vanilla (Tilted Axis Press, 2020), Lee Soho’s Catcalling (Open Letter Books, 2021), and Choi Jin-young’s To the Warm Horizon (Honford Star, 2021). They also make chogwa, a zine that features one Korean poem and multiple English translations per issue.
