Join us on Wednesday, August 9th at 5:30 pm for a special In Conversation event with playwright and author Vichet Chum! He’ll be chatting about his play Kween, which will be included in the South Carolina New Play Festival, and about the novel version of Kween coming out in October.

Kween is a searing, joyful play about a queer Cambodian American teen’s journey to find her voice and step into her legacy. Following her Dad’s deportation, everything has changed for Soma. Her Mom is away, helping her husband adjust to his new life, while her older sister, Dahvy, is preparing for her quickly unravelling wedding. Through poetry, Soma finds the words to not only save the day, but more importantly, to express exactly what she’s feeling.

Find out more and don’t miss this free event!

Learn more here: https://www.southcarolinanewplayfestival.org.

BOOK SUMMARY

Soma Kear’s verses have gone viral. Trouble is, she didn’t exactly think her slam poetry video through. All she knew was that her rhymes were urgent. On fire. An expression of where she was, and that place…was a hot mess.
Following her Ba’s deportation back to Cambodia, everything’s changed. Her Ma is away trying to help Ba adjust to his new life, and her older sister has taken charge with a new authoritarian tone. Meanwhile, Soma’s trending video pushes her to ask if it’s time to level up. With her school’s spoken word contest looming, Soma must decide: Is she brave enough to put herself out there? To publicly reveal her fears of Ba not returning? To admit that things may never be the same?

With every line she spits, Soma searches for a way to make sense of the world around her. The answers are at the mic.

From debut author Vichet Chum comes a celebration of Khmer identity, queerness, and embracing the complicated histories that shape who we are and want to be.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

VICHET CHUM (he/him) is a Cambodian American writer originally from Carrollton, TX. He graduated from the University of Evansville and received an MFA from Brown University. He currently lives in New York City. Kween is his debut novel, and you can visit Vichet at vichetchum.com.
