Miami Book Fair 2023: Four Memoirs
November 18 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Join Miami Book Fair for an author panel and discussion with four memoirists who share their experience growing up as first generation Americans. In First Gen: A Memoir, Alejandra Campoverdi retraces her trajectory as a Mexican American woman raised by an immigrant single mother in Los Angeles. In Ava Chin’s Mott Street: A Chinese American Family’s Story of Exclusion and Homecoming, she traces her decades-long quest to understand her family’s story from the Pearl River Delta to a Mott Street Building in New York’s Chinatown. In A Living Remedy: A Memoir , Nicole Chung recounts growing up in an overwhelmingly white Oregon town and her search to understand her parents’ lives. And in Prachi Gupta’s They Called Us Exceptional: And Other Lies that Raised Us, she writes about the pressure to belong in America, something framed by powerful myths of Asian American success.
Free parking is available at the MDC Wolfson Campus Parking Garage from Sunday, November 12 through Sunday, November 19. The garage is located at 500 NE Second Avenue; the entrance is on NE Fifth Street between First and Second Avenues.
