Book Release Party & Community Conversation: "Livonia Chow Mein"

Join us to celebrate the release of Abigail Savitch-Lew's debut novel Livonia Chow Mein, a gripping story centered around a Chinese family-owned restaurant on Livonia Avenue and its relationship to the neighborhood’s Jewish and Black residents over the course of a century.

Rev. Cathie Wright-Lewis, novelist and director of Power in the Pen Writing Workshop, will facilitate the evening. The event will feature a Chinese American buffet meal, poetry readings by members of Power in the Pen Writing, an author reading and Q&A, and an interactive community discussion on Black-Asian solidarity.
