Author and editor Yi Shun Lai will talk about your bookshelves--yes, yours!--and give you some tips on what it means to be a well-rounded, diverse reader. When Lai set out to find a publisher for her novel Not a Self-Help Book: The Misadventures of Marty Wu, she discovered the hidden pressures of publishing as a minority. Conversely, she took a hard look at her own bookshelves and has since been on a quest to read more diversely. Find out what she has learned.
