LITQUAKE 2025:

Co-presented with Bay Area Book Festival

Litquake and Bay Area Book Festival present an engaging conversation between Jeff Chang, author of the recently released Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America, and W. Kamau Bell, acclaimed comic and TV host. Chang's new book sheds light on a tumultuous era in the Pacific—the times Bruce Lee lived through—and reveals the world that he continues to shape. Based on in-depth interviews with Lee’s closest intimates, as well as thousands of never-before-seen personal documents and photos, this page-turning cultural biography by the acclaimed author of the award-winning Can’t Stop Won’t Stop brings us the closest we have ever been to the man himself. Bell, known for his work on United Shades of America, will bring his unique blend of humor and social commentary to the dialogue. This evening promises a thought-provoking exploration of pop culture, racial identity, and social change through the lens of Bruce Lee’s legacy. At the beloved 4 Star Theater in the Richmond District, their conversation will be followed by a screening of Fist of Fury.

Doors at 6:30 PM for book signing/sales.
