Kao Kalia Yang Book Discussion on Nov. 7 at Whitewater Public Library

Editor’s Note: The following was provided by the Whitewater Public Library.

Community members are invited to read and discuss “Somewhere in the Unknown World,” a collection of powerful stories of refugees who have found new lives in Minnesota’s Twin Cities, told by the award-winning Hmong American author Kao Kalia Yang. In her exquisite, necessary telling, these fourteen stories of refugee journeys restore history and humanity to America’s strangers and redeem its long tradition of welcome.

A limited number of library copies are available for checkout at the front desk. Read in advance and then join us for a book discussion at the Irvin L. Young Memorial Library (431 W. Center St., Whitewater) on Tuesday, November 7 at 5:30 p.m.

In addition, community members are invited to a book discussion and Q&A with the author on the UW-Whitewater campus. Virtual options are available. More information may be found at https://my.uww.edu/SignUp/Public/Register/17536.

Contact the library at 262-473-0530 with questions.
