Fang Si-Chi’s First Love Paradise
A Conversation with Author Kat Tang
RSVP here (Livestream available)

Left Bank Books & Taipei Cultural Center (TCC) in New York presents Jenna Tang. Tang is the translator for Fang Si-Chi's First Love Paradise, one of the biggest books to come out of Taiwan in the last decade. Join us as Tang discuss the most influential book of Taiwan's #MeToo movement--a heartbreaking account of sexual violence and a remarkable reinvention of the trauma plot, turning the traditional Lolita narrative upside down as it explores women's vulnerability, victimization, and the lengths they will go to survive.

Tang will personalize and sign copies after the presentation! Personalized and signed copies will be available to be mailed anywhere in the country. For personalized copies, please order before noon on May 28th.

Tang will be in conversation with debut St. Louis author Kat Tang.
