“A moving, strikingly evocative exploration of New York’s art, tech, and activism scenes across the decades.”
A Conversation with Bestselling Author, Lisa Ko on Wednesday, May 1 at 8pm ET on WXXI’s Facebook page.
In celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, PBS Books is thrilled to have a bestselling author, Lisa Ko, join us to discuss her highly anticipated book Memory Piece. Lisa takes us on a road trip through time with Giselle (artist), Jackie (internet tech expert) & Ellen (activist), three lifelong friends whose lives as children growing up in the 80’s shaped their prospects as adults at the turn of the millennia. We discuss the stories, people and cultural events spanning the past four decades that inspired this story, and the outlook based on current events that shaped the book’s dystopian landscape four decades in the future. This visionary book will have you remembering and reflecting on the past, give you a glimpse of life not driven by technology, and leave you questioning what the future looks like. Join Lisa Ko this Wednesday, May 1 at 8pm ET for an opportunity to gain insight and learn about the creative process behind this provocative book.
