The Face (ft. Ruth Ozeki and Tash Aw)

Authors Ruth Ozeki and Tash Aw read from their contributions to an innovative new series from Restless books titled THE FACE, which asks writers to offer a guided tour of that most intimate terrain: their own faces. Afterwards they have a conversation with AAWW Executive Director Ken Chen.   In Ruth Ozeki’s piece A Time Code, she provides a Buddhist meditation of the second-by-second experience of the author watching her own face. Tash Aw’s Strangers on a Pier gives the reader--in the words of Yiyun Li--“whirlwind personal history of modern Asia, as told through his Malaysian and Chinese heritage.”   Music by Robert Rusli and Lu Yang
