Book Launch: Abigail Savitch-Lew presents Livonia Chow Mein
Wine reception to follow
Brooklyn author Abigail Savitch-Lew launches Livonia Chow Mein, a gripping story of family history and political upheaval centered around a Chinese family-owned restaurant in Brownsville, Brooklyn, and its impact on the neighborhood’s Jewish and Black residents over the course of a century. A stunning debut in the vein of Happiness Falls and Family Lore—"with flair and grace that make this an utterly enjoyable read," (James McBride, author of The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store)—Livonia Chow Mein contemplates how the American pursuit of freedom relies on a collective amnesia and challenges us to consider what it would take for us to truly live in harmony. Savitch-Lew reads from and discusses the book before an audience Q&A and signing.
