- **Event Description**: Vanessa Hua discusses her new book Coyoteland.About this EventJoin us in celebrating the newest novel by our favorite local author, Vanessa Hua. Set in the bucolic hills of an affluent suburb east of Berkeley, Coyoteland is a gripping tale of privilege, secrets, and belonging. Living in the the fictionalized town of El Nido, is supposed to mean you’ve made it. So when Jin Chang moves there with his wife and daughters after years of scraping by, he hopes it will finally be the end of his bad luck. What his family doesn’t know is that he’s bending the rules for one final scheme: to make it big in real estate. Next door, Blair Belle prides herself on her progressive politics but she can’t help but feel skeptical of the new neighbors, especially when she begins to suspect that Jin’s plans might interfere with the Belle’s own luxury development.Jin’s teenage daughter Jane can tell her dad is keeping a secret, but she’s also struggling to navigate El Nido’s cliques. Tasha Washington has always felt isolated, too, as one of the only Black girls at the school. In the wake of a coyote attack, Jane and Tasha bond. Together, they hatch a plot to expose the town’s hypocrisies. The shockwaves will rock their own families. As fire season escalates, and the roaming coyote continues to unleash chaos, the characters become embroiled in a series of scandals that will change El Nido—and their own fates—forever.Urgent, riveting, and deeply heartfelt, full of sharp wit and keen empathy, Coyoteland is at once a delicious suburban drama and an unflinching exploration of our current moment.Vanessa Hua is the author of the national bestselling novels A River of Stars and Forbidden City and Forbidden City, as well as the story collection Deceit and Other Possibilities, a New York Times Editors’ Pick.
