Authors on Asia: Nicole Mones Illustrated Presentation and Book Signing
Night in Shanghai
In 1936, classical pianist Thomas Greene is recruited to Shanghai to lead a jazz orchestra of fellow African-American expats. From being flat broke in segregated Baltimore to living in a mansion with servants of his own, he becomes the toast of a city obsessed with music, money, pleasure and power, even as it ignores the rising winds of war. Based on a true story. Ms. Mones was recently interviewed about the book on NPR.
Books will be available for purchase and signing. Light refreshments. RSVP to the Museum Store, 626.449.2742, ext. 20.
