Dear Friends,

On February 19th, Day of Remembrance, I’m bringing American Sutra to our nation’s capital, to give a talk and discussion with acclaimed musician, Kishi Bashi at the National Museum of American History in Washington DC. If you are local or have friends and family in the DC area, please invite everyone to join me!

Day of Remembrance is celebrated all across the country on February 19th, so if you’d like to attend a DOR event near you, the Japanese American Citizens League has put together a list of events by state here.

If you committed to placing an order for the book on the Team American Sutra form, this is a good time to do so. If you plan to buy your book on Day of Remembrance (this upcoming Tuesday), this is just a gentle reminder and encouragement to visit your local, independent bookstores to pick up American Sutra— out next week!

If you have any questions or concerns regarding American Sutra or this newsletter, please email me.

Kindest regards,
Duncan
