Join us for a lively conversation about excavating family secrets, discovering suppressed stories in Taiwanese history, and crafting a memoir with local author Kim Liao, who will discuss her new memoir Where Every Ghost Has a Name. Books will be available for purchase and a book signing will take place at the end of the event. Kim Liao’s writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, Electric Literature, Lit Hub, The Rumpus, McSweeney’s, The Millions, Salon, Fourth River, Hippocampus, and others. A former Taiwan Fulbright Creative Research Scholar, her work has received support from the Vermont Studio Center, the Jentel Foundation, the Hambidge Center, the Anderson Center, and the Ragdale Foundation.
