Hyphen:
HYPHEN invites you to the literary event of the year:
Acclaimed novelist ED LIN ('Waylaid') and poet LISA CHEN - both published by independent Asian American press Kaya Books - read from their latest work.
'This is a Bust' marks award winning novelist Ed Lin's second novel - a genre-bending hardboiled social narrative about an alcoholic, Chinese American Vietnam vet working an increasingly suspicious Chinatown beat.
"Lin's book reclaims Chinatown from the clutches of writers who have been exotifying this enclave for the past 20 years." -- From "Good Cop, Bad Cop: Maverick writer Ed Lin invades Chinatown" - a feature story on Ed Lin in the latest issue of Hyphen.
Plus, Lisa Chen will read from 'Mouth' - her debut collection of poetry called "wild, playful, gorgeous, weird, often hip" by Poet Linh Dinh.

I still haven't had a chance to read
This Is a Bust, but it looks great. And
