Yellowface by RF Kuang Tuesday, August 26 6:30 p.m. Discussion Urban Growler 2325 Endicott St St. Paul This event is FREE and open to the public. — Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena’s a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I, and lets her publicist rebrand her as Juniper Song. But June can’t get away from Athena’s shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring June’s (stolen) success down around her. — With The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library, moderator Jeff Kamin brings his unique take on a public book club show to Saint Paul. Even if you don’t like the featured book, he “guarantees a good time at our entertaining discussions.” All are welcome to try this moderated reinvention of the book club.

Jody's Film Series Presents: The Field Trip Directors: Meghan O'Hare, Mike Attie, Rodrigo Ojeda-Beck (Running time: 13 min.) What happens when 5th graders are given the chance to run a town for a day? This happens. In they come, seriously prepared to step into their roles with professional aplomb, dressed in suits, scrubs, hardhats. I'm telling you, nothing says how much they get it, till you hear, "That's not my problem,"Oh no, oh no, oh,no!" and my personal favorite, "I can take whoever's next." Enjoy the free film, snacks and post-film discussion facilitated by Jody. Thanks to the collaboration of the Hamline Midway Elders and Merriam Park Library.
