Houghton Library at Harvard University is inaugurating its Spring 2023 season with an awe-inspiring reading by two major literary innovators: Hiromi Itō, author of Thorn Puller (2022) and Killing Konoko (Action Books, 2009), and Lynn Xu, author of Those Ashen Heaps That Cantilevered Vase of Moonlight (Wave, 2022).

Introduced by Sawako Nakayasu (author of Pink Waves, 2023), this event will also feature award-winning translator Jeffrey Angles, who will read with Itō. A reception and book-signing will follow.
