Episode 169 – Love letters to Lola | TFAL talks CRESCENCIANA: A Memoir In Words And Illustrations with Kenneth Tan

This Filipino American Life

In this episode of TFAL, Elaine talks with author and artist Kenneth Tan. This conversation was recorded at a pre-Mother’s Day book event at Belcanto Books in Long Beach, CA. In this conversation we learn about Kenneth’s journey with his Lola and what inspired his beautiful coffee table memoir. Since this conversation was recorded at a public event, please note that there is ambient jazz music in the background during some parts of the recording.

If you’d like to purchase a copy and are local to the Southern California area, signed copies are available at Belcanto Books! You can also purchase copies directly from Kenneth’s site: The Lola x Kenneth Collaboration.

Daghang Salamat to Kenneth and Jhoanna Belfer of Belcanto Books for the opportunity to talk about this lovely memoir and for the audience who joined us for the book talk.
