Writers Workshop is presenting a workshop hosted by Jen Sookfong Lee on Tuesday, May 5, 2009 at the Richmond Cultural Centre (7700 Minoru Gate) from 7-9 pm. Jen Sookfong Lee is best known for her novel, The End of East. The novel explores themes of isolation, immigration, romance and sanity through the eyes of its narrator, Sammy Chan, a Chinese Canadian woman in her early 20s, and through the experiences of her parents and grandparents. The End of East is a novel with poetry at its heart, mixing character study, history, place and sexuality for a story that is both edgy and evocative. The novel is a terrific read and this workshop would be a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in writing that draws from family history of uses biographical information.
Admission is free but you must call 604-247-8300 in advance to reserve a spot.
