NYC Book Party at Red Pavilion

  • Red Pavilion 1241 Flushing Avenue Brooklyn, NY, 11237 United States (map)

For one night only, we're reimagining Anna May Wong's jazz age bungalow inside the walls of Red Pavilion to celebrate the publication of Not Your China Doll: The Wild and Shimmering Life of Anna May Wong, a new biography of the first Asian American movie star by Katie Gee Salisbury.

As Wong's fame and allure grew in Hollywood during the 1920s, she often entertained fellow performers, artists, writers, and other bohemians in the bungalow behind her father's laundry. "Men and women from the world of art and letters seek her out," Helen Carlisle writes in Motion Picture Magazine. "Many a celebrity has visited the little house where she serves tea in a truly ceremonious manner."

Party highlights will include:
