ABIGAIL SAVITCH-LEW (Fiction, 2020) debut novel launches 4/21!

Livonia Chow Mein is gripping story of family history and political upheaval centered around a Chinese family-owned restaurant in Brownsville, Brooklyn, and its impact on the neighborhood’s Jewish and Black residents over the course of a century. The novel contemplates how the American pursuit of freedom relies on a collective amnesia and challenges us to consider what it would take for us to truly live in harmony.

Join Abby and award-winning author Aisha Abdel Gawad for the official launch on Tuesday, 4/21 at the Greenlight Bookstore in Brooklyn! RSVP for NYC book launch here!

And on Saturday, May 16th, Abby will be in the historic Brooklyn neighborhood of Brownsville for both a release party and community conversations on solidarity between Black and Asian communities with the Reverend Cathie Wright-Lewis at the Brownsville Heritage House Inc. Black and Asian New Yorkers are especially encouraged to attend and participate in the discussion. All people are welcome. Simultaneous translation available for Mandarin speakers (Mandarin speakers should RSVP here). RSVP for Brownsville event here!

Livonia Chow Mein has also been chosen as one of three potential next reads for the CBS Club Calvi bookclub! Vote for it here!
