Asian American Writers Workshop | In Celebration of Disorientation: Elaine Hsieh Chou and Sabrina Imbler @AAWWNYC | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
The Asian American Writers’ Workshop presents a virtual event celebrating the paperback launch of Elaine Hsieh Chou’s DISORIENTATION. This debut novel explores a Taiwanese American woman’s coming-of-consciousness as she ignites eye-opening revelations and chaos on a college campus. The hilarious satire is an examination of privilege and power in America, described by Alexander Chee as “wickedly funny and knowing,” where “Chou’s dagger wit is sure-eyed, intent on what feels like a decolonization of her protagonist, if not the reader, that just might set her free.” Elaine will be joined in conversation by author Sabrina Imbler.
