One of the most celebrated literary voices of her generation comes to Philadelphia. New York Times bestselling author R.F. Kuang — whose works include The Poppy War trilogy, Babel, and Yellowface — makes a special live appearance in honor of her most anticipated novel yet.
With Taipei Story, Kuang ventures somewhere new: inward. The novel follows Lily, a young women suspended between cultures, who travels to Taiwan searching for the sense of belonging she's never quite found at home. What she uncovers instead is a reckoning — with language, inheritance, and the stories we inherit from those who came before us. Intimate, searching, and emotionally precise, Taipei Story marks a bold new chapter in Kuang's already remarkable career.
Join us for a moderated conversation with the author, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. An unmissable evening with one of contemporary fiction's most essential voices.
All tickets will include one (1) deluxe hardcover of Taipei Story (retail value $32)
