Talk to Him

Minnesota Public Radio has interviewed Wing Young Huie about his trip around North America, chronicled in his book Looking for Asian America. In 2001 Huie and his wife traveled all around the US and even into Canada and Mexico, seeking out Asian Americans in the most unexpected places. They found a Vietnamese Elvis, Miss Congeniality on her cell phone in San Francisco's Chinatown, a Hmong street sign in rural North Carolina, a meditating Falun Gong protestor in Washington, D.C., and a bubble tea Valley Girl.

But you can do more than just listen to the MPR interview. Huie will be in our store (map) on Tuesday, November 20, at 7:30pm. He'll be giving a talk about his trip, showing slides, and answering questions. Don't miss this unique opportunity to interact with this great local artist. The event is free and open to the public--David E
