Young Literati Salon featuring Jade Chang in conversation with Jean Chen Ho
6:30pm – Bites and Libations
7:30pm – Brief Remarks and Author Discussion
“[E]qual parts love letter to Los Angeles, narrative about being a first-generation Asian American, exploration of grief and love and a found-family novel. . . . [Chang’s] prose is infectiously funny, and her ability to satirize rich people paying silly amounts of money to be led to their souls has only sharpened.”
— LA Times
Join Young Literati for an evening with acclaimed author Jade Chang, in conversation with celebrated novelist and journalist Jean Chen Ho, on Thursday, December 4 at a private home in Hollywood.
Enjoy light bites and delicious libations as you mingle with the Young Literati community for an evening of lively conversation, literature, and connection, all in celebration of the Los Angeles Public Library.
Chang’s latest novel, What a Time to Be Alive, follows Lola Treasure Gold—broke, back in her childhood cottage, and reeling from loss—whose accidental viral fame transforms her into an unlikely self-help icon. As Lola grapples with identity, belief, and the search for meaning in the digital age, Chang delivers a sharp, tender, and darkly funny exploration of what it means to reinvent yourself while the world is watching.
