Sixth & I

From R.F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Katabasis and Yellowface, comes Taipei Story, a humorous and moving coming-of-age novel that grapples with grief, language, and culture shock.
College freshman Lily Chen is spending the summer in Taipei at an intensive language program like so many Chinese American students before her, hoping to connect with the culture she inherited but never fully understood. A promising start quickly unravels: Her classes are grueling, her roommate is driving her insane, and classmates are gossiping about her. Lily feels adrift, a foreigner in a country she thought would feel like home.
Then, Lily’s grandfather passes away, sending her on a search for understanding—of herself, her family, and the meaning of home. Taipei Story asks: What if the diaspora fantasy of homecoming never comes true? What if learning a language can’t bring you any closer to the people you’re trying to reach? What if your family doesn’t want to share its history? What if you wait too long to ask the right questions?Kuang will be in conversation with <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/amy-qin" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Amy Qin</a>, a national correspondent for the New York Times covering Asian American communities across the country. Qin has previously lived in Beijing, Taipei, and Hong Kong.
All books will be pre-signed by the author. A limited number of tickets include access to a post-event signing for those who would like their name added to their book.

Dorothy becomes Reina in this fresh take on The Wizard of Oz from Brian Quijada, the award-winning creator and star of Mexodus, which premiered at Mosaic ahead of back-to-back Off-Broadway runs. Inspired by the true story of his mother’s immigration in the 1970s, Somewhere over the Border takes audiences on a musical journey from El Salvador to America featuring cumbia, Mexican mariachi boleros, rock, hip hop, and more! As Reina travels north to the Mexican border, she gathers friends, faces down dangers, and holds tight to the memory of the little boy she left behind to build a better life for them both. With equal parts joyful whimsy and harrowing truth, Somewhere Over the Border is a timely new musical that honors the grit and resilience of the immigrant’s journey and reminds us of the humanity of all our neighbors.

In 2018, Carmen Conner became principal of Pineview Elementary School. Just a few miles away, Dr. Nicole Patton-Terry became a professor at the Florida Center for Reading Research. They were working toward the same goal — helping more children learn to read — but they had never met.
When Patton-Terry reached out to Conner, the two discovered they each had something the other needed. Patton-Terry brought decades of research on reading development. Conner brought deep knowledge of her students, teachers, and school community. Together, they built a partnership that combined research, professional learning, and classroom expertise to improve reading instruction and student achievement.
Join journalist Emily Hanford for a conversation with Patton-Terry and Conner about what it takes to bring the science of reading into schools, followed by an audience Q&amp;A. Immediately after the program, an informal “Into Practice” session is hosted by educators from The Reading League-DC.
