a booksellers-only event of my dreams: next week, 5/8, I’m talking with hero Alexander Chee about EXHIBIT 🖤 it’s a preview cocktail party with The Word | A Storytelling Sanctuary, & an EXHIBIT-related cocktail recipe will be made available to attendees 🍸

So looking forward to this event with Clint Smith at People's Book (Takoma Park's newest bookstore!) on May 16 at 7pm! This will be my last local event for a little bit. Join us if you're in the DMV: peoplesbooktakoma.com/event/chung-sm…
