This was a really love read - such a thorough recap of the book fair and a wonderful view into Aku’s mind and her relationships with the city and the people in it :) thanks for writing such a great piece.
Loved this recap! I attended the fair this year for the first time and visited many of the same tables. Loved Datz Press. I didn’t get to attend any workshops so appreciated the recap of those! :)
This was so great! Thank you, Aku and Christina. I was so bummed to miss the fair this year, and this really gave such a wonderful sense of both the vibes and the books! Thanks to you, I got myself a copy of 'nostalgia is the ghost of care.' I can't wait to see it in person. And I really loved the way you wrote about Chinatown Pride, the details of the hospital scrubs and the marathon medal and your nuanced take on contemporary separatism. Love the idea for Reading the Room. And loved Aku's read. Thank you!
Ah what a wonderful read. It had never occurred to me to attend all four days of the book fair! How delicious and inspiring. Thank you, Aku!
delicious and inspiring - couldn't agree more <3 thanks for reading, Michelle
