皇后区大事小情#1：《小碗》新书发布会

English: Please join us for the launch of "Little Bowl," a story written by Qiwen Guang, and translated by Qianfan Gu. In the story, libraries serve both as backdrops and companions for the diasporic protagonist. And it is within the linguistically diverse collections of Queens Public Library that the two librarians—a mother and daughter—find solace, a sense of belonging, and a deeper understanding of each other. "Little Bowl" is the inaugural issue of Queens Things, a publishing project initiated by Chang Yuchen. The event will feature a conversation between Qianfan Gu and Chang Yuchen, and a signing reception will follow. This program will be Bilingual - English and Chinese.
Chinese: 欢迎您参加《小碗》的新书发布会。《小碗》是由广七文创作、顾虔凡翻译的小说。小说中，记忆中和想象中的图书馆不仅是场景，也是主人公在离散生活中的陪伴。而故事中的两个图书馆员——一对母女——是因着皇后区公共图书馆语种丰富的藏书而找到了慰藉、归属感、以及对彼此更深的理解。《小碗》是由常羽辰发起的出版项目“皇后区大事小情”的第一本出版物。在发布会上，顾虔凡和常羽辰将进行一场对谈，《小碗》一书也会在现场签名发售。
