Kaya Press is excited to co-sponsor this great afternoon of Asian diasporic literature: Hang out with Australian author Tom Cho, author of LOOK WHO’S MORPHING (Arsenal Pulp Press, 2014) at USC!

An un-named protagonist undergoes a series of transformations, shape-shifting through figures drawn from film and television, music and books, porn flicks and comics. This protagonist becomes Godzilla, a Muppet, Whitney Houston’s bodyguard, a robot that becomes a car, the Fonz and – in the climax of all climaxes – a 55-metre tall cock rock star who performs for the people of Tokyo.

Join author and performer, Tom Cho for a reading of his book Look Who’s Morphing, first published in Australia by Giramondo Publishing in 2009 and in North America and Europe by Arsenal Pulp Press in April 2014.
