We're wrapping up Yu Miri's residency here at UChicago with a second event, “Sound & Voice in Yu Miri's Work,” featuring Yu Miri reading from The End of August, a panel discussion of her work with Michael Bourdaghs, Scott Aalgaard, Yuki Miyamoto, and me, plus a staged reading performance of one scene from the work-in-progress play OBON.
We're also planning two staged readings of the new play, first at Logan Center for the Arts on the UChicago campus on 9/21

and a second at Theater Wit on 9/23 (more details on that coming soon).

Translators' names on the cover.
Translators' names *not* in parentheses.
Books and stories don't translate themselves. Somebody did a lot of work to bring that book or story to you in the language you can read!

Mets fans!
The Mets are back home at Citi Field this Friday as the Dodgers roll into town.
I’ll be at the ballpark. Join me in giving Francisco Lindor the loudest standing ovation of the night! Let’s show Lindor that the better part of this fanbase truly appreciates the walking Hall of Famer!
