Brian Ascalon Roley reads from his book American Son,
a 2001 Kiriyama Prize fiction finalist.
“In bare and muscular prose, American Son deftly seduces
with this emotional yet unsentimental coming-of-age journey...
Roley opens a window to an Asian America that is rarely
acknowledged and perhaps even unrecognizable; his is the
searingly honest voice of an authentic American son.„
(Helen Zia, author of Asian American Dreams). Brian
Ascalon Roley grew up in Los Angeles and now lives in San
Francisco. His work has appeared in Epoch and The Georgia
Review.
Cosponsored with Filipinas Magazine and the Yuchengco
