In Daryl Qilin Yam’s Lovelier, Lonelier, a time-hopping and genre-defying novel, the passing of the Great Comet of 1996 sets in motion a series of inexplicable events in Kyoto, changing the lives of four friends forever. Join us for the NYC launch of the American edition of the novel, published by Gaudy Boy. The launch event begins with a potluck and an open mic.
