R. F. Kuang in Conversation

This event is sold out. If additional tickets become available, we’ll make the announcement in our weekly newsletter. Sorry, there is no waitlist.

Thank you to HarperCollins Canada for supporting R. F. Kuang’s appearance in Vancouver.

R. F. Kuang returns to the Vancouver Writers Fest for one night only! The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Katabasis and Yellowface joins us with her wryly humorous, profoundly moving latest book, Taipei Story.

This highly anticipated coming-of-age novel grapples with grief, language, and culture shock—all set against the backdrop of an unforgettable summer in Taipei. Kuang joins us in conversation with acclaimed author Jen Sookfong Lee, with an audience Q+A and signing after the talk. Additional books and backlist will be available for purchase from Book Warehouse / Black Bond Books.

Each $70 ticket* to this event will include one (1) pre-signed deluxe limited edition copy of Taipei Story!

Rebecca can personalize only one (1) book per person—either a pre-signed copy of Taipei Story or one (1) backlist title.

No photos are allowed in the signing line.

*A limited number of lower-priced $45 tickets are available. These tickets do not come with a book, and seating is in the balcony. The balcony is accessible only by stairs, and seating is in pews, with some seats in this section having a restricted view.
