Tom Lin is the author of The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu (Little, Brown), praised by Booklist as a “beautifully imagined first novel… an extraordinary epic with page-turning, often cinematic action that transcends the parameters of genre fiction.”
Lin was born in China and immigrated to the United States when he was four. A graduate of Pomona College, he is currently in the PhD program in English at the University of California, Davis. The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu is his first novel.
Both events free & open to the public.
