OFFSITE event at VPL: Larissa Lai: The Lost Century, in conversation with Rita Wong

  • Vancouver Public Library, Central Branch Montalbano Family Theatre 350 West Georgia Street Vancouver BC V6B 6B1 Canada (map)

Why is what we know of the past so full of holes?

In her recent novel The Lost Century, award-winning author Larissa Lai takes us to World War II Hong Kong and uses the back-drop of the island's invasion by the Japanese to tell a story of colonialism, resistance, and the love of a family–against all odds.

Join Larissa Lai in conversation with Rita Wong as they discuss a work that has been called “a marvel: tender, funny, beautiful, powerful and even transcendent.”
