Brooklyn Reading Works presents “In the Year of the Rabbit: Voices from the East,”  a celebration of Asian and Asian-American writers on April 14, at 8PM at the Old Stone House in Park Slope, Brooklyn. (336 3rd Street (5th Avenue) Brooklyn, NY 11215 718.768.3195).

The event will be curated by Sophia Romero, author of Always Hiding (William Morrow) and blogger behind Shiksa From Manila.

For the first time since Brooklyn Reading Works began writers from across the Pacific (or Atlantic depending on where one is standing!) will gather under one roof to read excerpts from their work.

Featured artists are poet Joanna Sit, novelists Thad Rutkowski, Bino A Realuyo, and Ronica Dhar, and playwright Diana Son.  There will be a Q&A at the end of the reading.

$5 suggested donation includes refreshments from Purple Yam and wine. Q&A will follow the readings. For more information go to www.brooklynreadingworks.com or www.theoldstonehouse.org
