Experimenting with Fiction Panel


Join us for an exciting evening of readings featuring authors Eugene Lim, Donald Breckenridge and John Yau.

Eugene Lim will be reading from his new novel, Dear Cyborgs, a book which Joshua Cohen (The Book of Numbers) calls “a mad badass fan letter to comicdom and a chastening reminder of how America’s greatest fantasy doesn’t involve superheroes with superpowers but the prospect of a fair and honest political life.”

Donald Breckenridge will be reading from his new novel, And Then, a hypnotically broken journey, chronicling his fathers slow and deliberate death, interweaving the stories of others into an emotionally honest love story about how we relate to others and ourselves.

John Yau will be reading from Further Adventures in Monochrome, in which he presses against the limits of language, creating poems that are at once cryptic, playful, and insightful. Including, in its entirety, his groundbreaking serial poem, “Genghis Chan: Private Eye”
