Events › Meet the Author: Jeff Chang - Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America

Jeff Chang is a writer, host, and cultural organizer known for his work in culture, politics, the arts, and music. His latest book is Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America, a cultural biography. In it Chang "reveals the man behind the enduring iconography and stirringly shows how Lee's growing fame ushered in something that's turned out to be even more enduring: the creation of Asian America."

Chang is a master of digging into the details of a particular moment in time and space, and using it to drive home a broader analysis of US society and culture (see also: Can't Stop Won't Stop), and Water Mirror Echo does exactly that. It is both a definitive Bruce Lee biography and something much deeper in scope.

Chang will be joined by Librarian Ian Hetzner for a far-reaching conversation about Chang's career in cultural criticism, and Water Mirror Echo more specifically. It should make for a wonderful, compelling night.
