Highlights of the Hong Kong Book Fair 2014
Headed to the Book Fair between July 16-22? Here are ten literary events that are well worth a listen.
"Where’s Broccoli?" Book reading by Kelly Yang
Got a kid to entertain? Drop them off at this reading by local author Kelly Yang, who will be sharing the story of her best-selling children’s book "Where’s Broccoli?" in person. In the tale, aimed at 4- to 9-year-olds, a little boy's stuffed toy broccoli goes missing, and the pair embark upon a quest to be reunited. There's also a book signing after the event.
July 16, 11:30am-12pm, Meeting Rooms S426-427, HKCEC.
Seminar: "How to Revive our City by Culture and Creativity?" by local artists
In this book, 29 local artists talk about how art has changed their lives, and how they put their skills to work to revive Hong Kong—which is often accused of being a cultural desert. Four contributors, Leung Man-tao, Fruit Chan, Anthony Wong Yiu-ming and Tieh-Chih Chang will be speaking at this seminar to go deeper into the issues that they touch upon in the tome. Cantonese only.
July 16, 3-4:30pm, Meeting Rooms S221, HKCEC.
