Join author Jeremy Holt (they/them) to celebrate the publication of their new graphic novel, Made in Korea (Image Comics). Taking place at Yu and Me Books—New York City's first Asian American female-owned bookstore—this event will feature a book signing and an author talk moderated by Marie Myung-Ok Lee.

This event is co-sponsored by AKA and Columbia University.

About the book: A Korean nine-year-old named Jesse is adopted and sent to live with a lovely couple in America. Equipped with an encyclopedic brain but socially awkward, the young girl’s journey through the complexities of race, gender, and identity hits a fork in the road when she discovers she’s not entirely human—yet. Adolescence just got a lot more emotional for the world’s first true A.I. system.

Jeremy Holt is a non-binary author whose most recent works include Made in Korea, Virtually Yours, Before Houdini, and Skip to the End.
