SUMMARY:STORIES ON SUNDAY: Chantha Nguon & Kim Green (Slow Noodles)
DESCRIPTION:Kicking off our Stories on Sundays series is Slow Noodles: A Cambodian Memoir of Love\, Loss\, and Family Recipes by Chantha Nguon with Kim Green. \nIn this online event that’s sure to be packed with flavor\, you will hear readings from this much-anticipated memoir\, then hear the story behind the book and much more in a Q&A with Chantha\, along with co-author Kim Green. Chantha’s daughter Clara Kim\, who wrote the book’s epilogue and narrated the audio book\, will also join in on the discussion. \nThis event is especially meaningful for us: In 2021\, Hippocampus Magazine published “The Gradual Extinction of Softness” by Chantha Nguon with Kim Green\, an essay which was later named a best essay of the year (and republished) by Longreads. \nSlow Noodles has been getting much praise in recent weeks\, so we’re updating this event listing to share these accolades\, such as: \n\nThe 30 New Books We Can’t Wait to Read (Reader’s Digest)\nWashington Post’s Book Suggestions for 2024\nThese New Books Could Be Some of the Best Reads of 2024 (San Francisco Chronicle)\nZibby Owens’ Predictions for the 2024 Bestseller Lists\n\nAbout the book: In Slow Noodles\, Chantha Nguon recounts her life as a Cambodian refugee who loses everything and everyone—home\, family\, and country—all but the remembered tastes and aromas of her mother’s kitchen. She takes us back to the quiet rhythms of 1960s Battambang\, her provincial hometown\, before the dictator Pol Pot tore her country apart and exterminated more than a million Cambodians\, including ethnic Vietnamese like Nguon and her family. Then\, as an emigrant in Saigon\, the author loses her mother\, brothers\, and sister and eventually flees to a refugee camp in Thailand. For two decades in exile\, she survives by cooking in a brothel\, serving drinks in a nightclub\, making and selling street food\, becoming a suture nurse\, and weaving silk. \nNguon’s irrepressible spirit and determination come through in this lyrical and inspirational memoir that includes more than twenty family recipes for dishes like chicken lime soup\, green papaya pickles\, and pâté de foie\, as well as Khmer curries\, stir-fries\, and handmade bánh canh noodles. Through it all\, recreating the dishes from her childhood becomes an act of resistance\, of reclaiming her place in the world\, of upholding the values the Khmer Rouge sought to destroy\, and of honoring the memory of her beloved mother\, whose “slow noodles” approach to healing and to cooking prioritized time and care over expediency. \nYou can pre-order the book here. \nBonus: Watch the Slow Noodles Book Trailer\n\nAbout the Series: Stories on Sundays are bi-monthly readings from a recent/forthcoming work of creative nonfiction followed by an author interview + audience Q&A. Your registration helps fund our contributor payments and other costs associated with running our journal. \n\nABOUT THE SPEAKERS\nChantha Nguon\nChantha Nguon was born in Cambodia and spent two decades as a refugee\, until she was finally able to return to her homeland.

SUMMARY:STORIES ON SUNDAY: Jennifer Lang (Places We Left Behind)
DESCRIPTION:Hear Jennifer Lang read from Places We Left Behind: A Memoir in Miniature\, followed by a discussion with our flash editor Rae Pagliarulo and an audience Q&A. \nMore about the book: When American-born Jennifer falls in love with French-born Philippe during the First Intifada in Israel\, she understands their relationship isn’t perfect. Both 23\, both Jewish\, they lead very different lives: she’s a secular tourist\, he’s an observant immigrant. Despite their opposing outlooks on two fundamental issues — country and religion — they are determined to make it work. For the next 20 years\, they root and uproot their growing family\, each longing for a singular place to call home. \nIn Places We Left Behind\, Jennifer puts her marriage under a microscope\, examining commitment and compromise\, faith and family while moving between prose and poetry\, playing with language and form\, daring the reader to read between the lines. \nAbout the Series: Stories on Sundays are bi-monthly readings from a recent/forthcoming work of creative nonfiction followed by an author interview + audience Q&A. Your registration helps fund our contributor payments and other costs associated with running our journal. \nMeet the Speaker\nAn American-French-Israeli hybrid\, Jennifer writes about identity\, language\, home. While raising kids in the San Francisco Bay Area at the dawning of the internet\, she worked as copy editor/editor/content writer for BabyCenter\, PlanetRx\, and many other now obsolete .coms. But Jennifer dreamed of seeing her name on paper\, in print\, eventually writing for Parenting\, Parents\, Natural Solutions\, Scholastic\, Woman’s Day\, Real Simple. \nThen\, in the early 2000s\, something else caught her eye: the back-page essays. Who were these first-person voices and how did they tell such moving stories? Curious and on the opposite coast\, Jennifer enrolled in a creative nonfiction class: one\, which led to another\, and then another\, finally culminating in an MFA in writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts.
