Nicole Chung, the bestselling author of "All You Can Ever Know", will be discussing her new memoir "A Living Remedy" in conversation with Lupita Aquino at a hybrid event hosted by East City Bookshop on May 2nd, 2024 from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM. "A Living Remedy" explores Chung's journey, examining the enduring strength of family bonds in the face of hardship and tragedy, as well as the persistent inequalities in American society. As a scholarship student who left her overwhelmingly white Oregon hometown for the East Coast, Chung grappled with the stark differences between the middle-class worlds she grew up in and the one she later built as an adult. The book also delves into the grief and rage Chung felt after the deaths of her father and mother, which were exacerbated by a lack of access to healthcare. This hybrid event will offer both an in-person component with limited seating and a virtual broadcast via Zoom, allowing attendees from near and far to participate and pose questions to the authors during the audience Q&A session. East City Bookshop is committed to ensuring the safety of all attendees, continuously monitoring public health guidance, and requiring masks for in-person participants. Readers and literary enthusiasts won't want to miss this opportunity to hear from Nicole Chung and Lupita Aquino as they discuss this poignant and timely memoir. The event promises to be an insightful exploration of family, class, and the enduring impact of systemic inequalities.
