"FOL Special Lecture: Gus Lee"


The Friends of the Library and the Raleigh bookstore Quail 
Ridge Books will co-host a special lecture featuring Chinese-
American author, West Point graduate, and attorney Gus Lee on 
February 8, 1995, at 2:00 P.M. in the D. H. Hill Library.  Lee, on 
the last leg of a major tour for his new book, _Honor and 
Duty_, will lecture, read from his works, and answer questions 
from the audience.  A _Los Angeles Times Book Review_ 
praised Lee's first book, _China Boy_ (1991) for its "engaging 
exploration of family dynamics and insight into a diversity of 
initiation rites." Continuing the theme of that partly 
autobiographical novel about growing up in California in the 
1950s, Lee's _Honor and Duty_ offers a poignant coming-of-
age story of a young man struggling to honor his Chinese 
inheritance in an American context.  An autograph session and 
reception will follow the program.  For more information, call 
the Friends office at ext. 5-2841.
