Please join us for Asian Heritage Month’s roundtable book discussion on Wednesday, April 3, from 3 – 4 p.m. in classroom N-469, 199 Chambers St..
The book for discussion is Crazy Rich Asians, which was adapted into a film that has received wide acclaim for facilitating “diversity” and “representation.” While these two concepts will be themes guiding the roundtable, please feel free to come with your own thoughts and possible topics related to the book (and/or the film).”
About the Book
When New Yorker Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home and quality time with the man she hopes to marry. But Nick has failed to give his girlfriend a few key details. One, that his childhood home looks like a palace; two, that he grew up riding in more private planes than cars; and three, that he just happens to be the country’s most eligible bachelor.
On Nick’s arm, Rachel may as well have a target on her back the second she steps off the plane, and soon, her relaxed vacation turns into an obstacle course of old money, new money, nosy relatives, and scheming social climbers.
For more information about the book discussion, contact Professor Jennifer B. Delfino at JDelfino@bmcc.cuny.edu.
