YELLOWFACE: US Tour stops
Dear readers,
Today is the day!
My US tour stops, in order, with ticket links:
Monday, May 15: New York, NY @ BARNES AND NOBLE UNION SQUARE with Miwa Messer
Tuesday, May 16: Brooklyn, NY @ BOOKS ARE MAGIC with Peng Shepherd
Wednesday, May 17: St. Louis, MO @ THE NOVEL NEIGHBOR
Thursday, May 18: Dallas, TX @ DALLAS MUSEUM OF ART
Friday, May 19: Palo Alto, CA @ BOOKS, INC with Esmé Weijun Wang
Saturday, May 20: Denver, CO @ TATTERED COVER BOOKSTORE
Sunday, May 21: Seattle, WA @ TOWN HALL SEATTLE
Tuesday, May 23: Cambridge, MA @ HARVARD BOOK STORE
Anticipating some frequently questions…
Yes, I’ll be signing at most of these venues. It’s a store-by-store policy, and I’ll send an update closer to the events with signing policies. It will probably be a five-book limit, which will let attendees get the TPW trilogy and BABEL signed.
Yes, I’m also touring the UK, Canada, and Dublin. All stops in mid-late May or early June. More to come!
Yes, there are lots of signed and special editions up for grabs if you can’t come to a special in person signing. There is one more to be announced, but currently you can order from the following, all of whom ship to most international locations.
Love,
Rebecca
I am a little confused with the choice to visit Palo Alto, one of the wealthiest cities with one of the most elitist college institutions in the US, over Los Angeles- especially if it is the only stop in California! Isn’t visiting Stanford, Harvard, etc counter to the sentiment of criticizing elite academia? Moreover, in choosing some of the highest income cities to tour at, won’t you be excluding less privileged people from being able to come? I absolutely love your writing, but unless I’m missing a more crucial motive to choosing these locations, I’m a bit heartbroken to see what seems like a hypocritical tour list.
Dear Ms. Kuang: Please, please, do include DC in your next tour. We are most in need of your word-smith nourishment and insight. Many hugs/ Brooke
