Punk to Protest––Writing Is Activism with Alvin Eng

Author/playwright and performer Alvin Eng talks (and walks around Lower Manhattan) with filmmaker Ken Dai. They discuss Eng’s growing up in 1970s NYC––his immigrant family ran a Chinese Hand Laundry in Flushing, Queens and then being changed by the punk rock and Asian American arts and activism movements. They also discuss his work including "Our Laundry, Our Town: My Chinese American Life from Flushing to the Downtown Stage and Beyond" (a memoir published by Fordham University Press), as well as his acoustic punk raconteur stage work, "Here Comes Johnny Yen Again (or How I Kicked Punk).". As an NYPL Long-Term Fellow, he is currently adapting the latter work into a companion piece to his memoir––tentatively titled "Urban Oracle Bones."
