Read and Re(View) – Kimball Art Center’s Book Club – “The Fortunes”

May 16, 2019

7pm

Admission: FREE

at Kimball Art Center

Email to RSVP

Join us as we discuss The Fortunes by Peter Ho Davies. Uniting art and literature, let’s come together for an engaging conversation that will expand our experience of the book as well as our featured exhibition.

Description from Amazon:

Sly, funny, intelligent, and artfully structured, The Fortunes recasts American history through the lives of Chinese Americans and reimagines the multigenerational novel through the fractures of immigrant family experience.

Inhabiting four lives—a railroad baron’s valet who unwittingly ignites an explosion in Chinese labor; Hollywood’s first Chinese movie star; a hate-crime victim whose death mobilizes the Asian American community; and a biracial writer visiting China for an adoption—this novel captures and capsizes over a century of our history, showing that even as family bonds are denied and broken, a community can survive—as much through love as blood.

Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award
for literature that confronts racism and examines diversity

Winner of the 2017 Chautauqua Prize

Finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize
