Author Talk with Marpheen Chann

Join author Marpheen Chann as he discusses his debut memoir, "Moon in Full," at the Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick. This event is co-sponsored by Gulf of Maine Books and copies of Chann’s book will be available to purchase that night at the event courtesy of Gulf of Maine.

Chann’s heart-warming journey weaves through housing projects and foster homes; into houses of worship and across college campuses; and playing out in working-class Maine where he struggles to find his place. Adopted into in a majority white community, Chann must reconcile his fears and secret longings as a young gay man with the devoutly religious beliefs of his new family. Chann, a second-generation Asian American, recounts what he has learned, what he has lost, and what he has found during his evolution from a hungry refugee’s son to religious youth to advocate for acceptance and equality.
