SUMMARY:Parallel Stories – Karen Tei Yamashita\, "Questions 27 & 28"
DESCRIPTION:An ambitious\, wide-ranging pastiche of fiction and documenta
 tion\, this hybrid novel also serves as an idiosyncratic history of the 
 Japanese experience in America before\, during and after the war. In wha
 t has been described as a "provocative symphony\," Karen Tei Yamashita m
 asterfully mixes fact with fiction\, layering genres from James Bond mov
 ies to haiku to oral history and transfiguring an enormity of archival r
 esearch into a chorus of stories. With her signature wit and aplomb\, sh
 e gives voice to laborers\, artists\, scholars\, informants\, and activi
 sts who\, over three generations\, defined an immigrant community. Book 
 signing with Chaucer’s Books to follow. Parallel Stories This Fall Paral
 lel Stories resonates from the Museum’s extensive and exceptional Asian 
 Art Collection spanning 5\,000 years with over 3\,600 objects. The serie
 s invites us to reimagine and reframe some of the histories\, traditions
  and stories contained in the collection. To do this\, we turn to three 
 contemporary authors— M. Lin\, Divya Victor\, and Karen Tei Yamashita—wh
 o write stories that are both deeply felt and impeccably researched\, th
 rough a hybrid lens of experience\, history\, and imagination. This seri
 es is a collaboration with The Asian American Studies Department of UCSB
 . Sameer Pandya\, Chairman of the Department and author of the award win
 ning The Blind Writer\, Members Only\, and Our Beautiful Boys\, will fac
 ilitate the conversations. Please arrive and check in before the program
  begins. Reservations will be held for 10 minutes after the scheduled st
 art time\; after that time\, unclaimed seats may be released to other gu
 ests.\n\nMore info: https://sbma.net/events/parallel-stories-karen-tei-y
