Gotham Book Club at P&T Knitwear

P&T Knitwear is thrilled to launch our first in house book group: the Gotham Book Club —meeting once a month to discuss our favorite fiction and nonfiction about New York City.

This month, we'll be reading & discussing Mott Street: A Chinese American Family's Story of Exclusion and Homecoming by Ava Chin. As the only child of a single mother in Queens, Ava Chin found her family's origins to be shrouded in mystery. She had never met her father, and her grandparents' stories didn't match the history she read at school. Mott Street traces Chin's quest to understand her Chinese American family's story, confronting the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the brutal racism of frontier towns, before following their paths to New York City's Chinatown. Gorgeously written, deeply researched, and tremendously resonant, Mott Street uncovers a legacy of exclusion and resilience that speaks to the American experience, past and present.

• This is a ticketed in-store event with limited amphitheater-style seating.
• Cost of a $5 general admission ticket can be applied towards your purchase of next month's book club pick or any product in our café the night of the book club meeting.
• We encourage all guests to wear masks.
• If you would like a copy and cannot attend the event, we're happy to take your pre-order for this month's book or next. We ship most places!
