StoryStudio Chicago invites you to a special experience: Breakfast & Book Club!
We’re thrilled to bring best-selling author R.O. Kwon to Chicago for an intimate breakfast, book discussion, and signing. You can enjoy coffee, hot tea, juice, fruit, and a breakfast selection while Kwon and your peers discuss her newest novel Exhibit. Here’s a little about the book:
From bestselling author R. O. Kwon, an exhilarating, blazing-hot novel about a woman caught between her desires and her life.
At a lavish party in the hills outside of San Francisco, Jin Han meets Lidija Jung and nothing will ever be the same for either woman. A brilliant young photographer, Jin is at a crossroads in her work, in her marriage to her college love Philip, and in who she is and who she wants to be. Lidija is an alluring, injured world-class ballerina on hiatus from her ballet company under mysterious circumstances. Drawn to each other by their intense artistic drives, the two women talk all night.
Cracked open, Jin finds herself telling Lidija about an old familial curse, breaking a lifelong promise. She’s been told that if she doesn’t keep the curse a secret, she risks losing everything; death and ruin could lie ahead. As Jin and Lidija become more entangled, they realize they share more than the ferocity of their ambition, and begin to explore hidden desires. Something is ignited in Jin: her art, her body, and her sense of self irrevocably changed. But can she avoid the specter of the curse? Vital, bold, powerful, and deeply moving, Exhibit asks: how brightly can you burn before you light your life on fire?
With a limited attendance capacity, this will be a rare opportunity to chat with Kwon about her work, as well as get to know fellow fans and readers in Chicago. You are welcome to bring copies of your Kwon books to the event, and copies will also be for sale on-site.
This event will be held at the Chicago Studio in Ravenswood. The doors will open for the event at 10:00am on Friday, September 5, and end at 11:30am, with a book signing to follow. Coffee, tea, juice, fruit, and assorted breakfast items will be available.
