Filmmaker and activist Curtis Chin has just published his memoir, Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant. Time Magazine lists it among the most anticipated new books of the fall. Chin's national book tour brings him to Chicago on Tuesday, November 7. He will discuss his memoir at the American Writers Museum, 180 N. Michigan Ave., at 6:00 p.m.
