About this Event

Join us for a book discussion about Denver's citywide book, Stay True by Hua Tsu!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Stay True by New Yorker staff writer Hua Hsu is a poignant coming-of-age memoir about friendship, identity, and loss. Set in the 1990s, it follows Hsu’s college years and his unlikely bond with a classmate whose worldview challenges his own. Through personal reflection and cultural critique, the book explores grief, memory, and what it means to truly know someone.

Widely acclaimed for its emotional depth and literary brilliance, Stay True was awarded the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Memoir or Autobiography and the 2022 National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography.
