Come on by to BooksNJ2015, held on the grounds of the Paramus Public Library in Paramus, NJ! The event will run from 1-5pm on Sunday, 6/14. There will be over 100 authors there, so it’s a great way to spend a few hours in the world of literature.
I’ll be on two panels, one at 1pm (Coming to America: The Immigrant Experience) and at 2:20pm (Men Tell It All: Notes from the Y Chromosome). Hope to see you there!

My April/May column for KoreAm Journal is now available online, and what a privilege it is that I got to write about my love of art, and of one artist’s works in particular: Dina Brodsky‘s latest miniature marvels. Now I can type lots of pretty adjectives to describe her paintings, but words can only do so much. Do yourself a favor and see her circular portals in person. Her solo show, Cycling Guide to Lilliput, Prologue, will be opening on Wednesday, May 20, 7-9pm at Island Weiss Gallery (islandweiss.com/

So here’s something unexpectedly delightful — Newsis, the largest private news agency in Korea (similar to the Associated Press), picked up my Private Lives column and wrote a story about it. They sort of retold the bulk of the story in Korean, so I can now hand this over to my mother today. Happy Easter indeed! I’m grateful to Newsis and the writer of the article, 노창현. It was also included in Newsroh, a Korean online newspaper!
