Two Nails, One Love Virtual Reading & Discussion

February 3, 2022 at 10:00 am - 11:00 am
  • « NJAHS presents Oshogatsu Festival Posters Exhibit – Curated by Rich Tokeshi
  • Bay Area Day of Remembrance 2022 »

Date & Time: February 3, 2020 @6pm Via ZOOM

Join us for this virtual gathering as Alden M. Hayashi reads from Two Nails, One Love, his debut novel which humanizes the experiences thousands of ethnic Japanese from Hawaii faced during World War II and the way this trauma impacts future generations.

Alden will be joined by Miko Lee, lead producer of KPFA’s APEX Express, to discuss the novel’s themes of immigration, institutionalized racism, family secrets, and coming out.

co-presented by Kearny Street Workshop, the National Japanese American Historical Society, and Tsuru for Solidarity
