Fae Myenne Ng and the fabulous Ben Fong-Torres will appear tonight at Book Passage in the Ferry Building to talk about Ng’s new novel, Steer Toward Rock, and Ben’s 2006 book THE DOORS. Ben happens to make a cameo in Steer Toward Rock, which “tells the story of two generations of Chinese Americans in S.F.’s Chinatown in the 1960’s.” (Read a couple of posts back, and you’ll see that Ben, who is a character in my new novel, NO ONE YOU KNOW, made a guest appearance at my reading last week. At this rate, Ben will have to take on reading-at-other-people’s-events as a full time job). The event begins at 6:00.

Also tonight: Meg Waite Clayton will be reading from and discussing her terrific new novel THE WEDNESDAY SISTERS at Books Inc. in Laurel Village, at 7:30.
