Goethe-Institut San Francisco

What a night! 📚

Thank you to everyone who joined us for (Un)Writing Place, a conversation between author Lin Hierse and translator Dr. Jon Cho-Polizzi on language, place, and belonging.

Together they talked about the German and Chinese entanglements in Lin’s writing, the role of Chinatowns across the diaspora, and what happens when her work travels into English through translation. The conversation didn’t end when the talk did. Many of you stayed long afterward with questions and to chat with Lin and Jon. That’s exactly the kind of evening we love. 💚

Thank you, @linhierse and @jpolizei for such an inspiring conversation!
