Retelling Refugee Stories: Beauty and Invisible Strength of Women in Diaspora by author Kim Thuy
Learn more about her recent novel Em (2020) and her unique transcultural life from a war refugee to one of the best-selling and most celebrated writers of our time. For almost a decade, Montreal author Kim Thúy, 49, has been writing the same-yet-entirely-different story of a Vietnamese diaspora everywoman, using the events of her own life as a lens to reflect the modern history of an entire nation. Written in Kim Thúy's trademark style, near to prose poetry, Em reveals her fascination with connection. Through the linked destinies of characters connected by birth and destiny, the novel zigzags between the rubber plantations of Indochina; daily life in Saigon during the war as people find ways to survive and help each other; Operation Babylift, which evacuated thousands of biracial orphans from Saigon in April 1975 at the end of the Vietnam War; and today's global nail polish and nail salon industry, largely driven by former Vietnamese refugees--and everything in between. Here are human lives shaped both by unspeakable trauma and also the beautiful sacrifices of those who made sure at least some of these children survived.
Coastal Carolina University, Johnson Auditorium, Wall 116

Myrtle Beach Pelicans Season Kick-Off Fireworks Extravaganza

Special Can-Am Days Entry: $10 admission to the stadium with Canadian ID
The Season Kick-Off Fireworks Extravaganza is presented by Better Brands and will begin at 6 pm and conclude with a Munnerlyn Pyrotechnics fireworks show at 8 p.m. While fans are used to watching the fireworks shows from the stands at Pelicans Ballpark, this event will afford the rare experience of watching this fireworks show from the field. Fans are encouraged to bring blankets and stretch out on the field (please note that chairs will not be allowed on the field). The event is an extension of the Birds’ in-season Family Friday promotion and will feature the popular $25 Family Meal Deal, which includes 4 hot dogs, 4 Pepsi, and a bucket of popcorn. Additional concessions, including alcohol, will be available throughout the event.
