Jeff Chang: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America

Description

TPL presents award-winning author Jeff Chang in conversation with [HOST TBC] at the Toronto Reference Library's Appel Salon, celebrating what would have been Bruce Lee's birthday. More than half a century after his death, Bruce Lee remains as towering a figure as ever, the man who popularized martial arts in the West, became a bridge between Eastern and Western culture, and was poised to conquer Hollywood when he died suddenly at age thirty-two.

But in the decades since, his legend has eclipsed the man. Forgotten is the immigrant, the fighter, the seeker, the teacher, the father grappling with exile and belonging in a country that questioned his right to simply exist. In his epic new cultural biography Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America , acclaimed author Jeff Chang recovers the man behind the icon.
