Los Angeles Review of Books Luminary Dinner with Lisa See – November 8th

As you may know I occasionally review and blog for the Los Angeles Review of Books, an excellent institution well worthy of support. You can support the LARB by subscribing or buying their publication online or attending a luminary dinner. The next LARB Luminary Dinner happens to have a China feel to it as Lisa See (subject of several blog posts over the years) is the luminary being given dinner. If you’re in the LA area it should be a good dinner, a good cause, and a good luminary.

The next LARB Luminary Dinner will feature American writer and novelist Lisa See, author of On Gold Mountain: The One-Hundred-Year Odyssey of My Chinese-American Family and the New York Times bestselling novels Flower Net, The Interior, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Peony in Love, Shanghai Girls, and China Dolls. Both Shanghai Girls and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan received honorable mentions from the Asian/Pacific American Awards for Literature. Ms. See was honored as National Woman of the Year by the Organization of Chinese American Women in 2001 and was the recipient of the Chinese American Museum’s History Makers Award in Fall 2003
