Siang Lu Session, Saturday July 5, 10 am to 11 am, in conversation with Jeremy Clarke. Tickets $12 per person.
Siang's two works - The Whitewash and Ghost Cities - are excellently written, thought-provoking and very funny. It is no wonder that there are so many national writing prizes that have considered Siang's works for high awards!
