Sex & Vanity: Kevin Kwan in Conversation with Doretta Lau

Sex & Vanity: Kevin Kwan in Conversation with Doretta Lau

Over a decade in the making, Sex & Vanity is fiction rockstar Kevin Kwan’s newest trilogy, set in the world’s most glamorous fashion capitals: New York, London and Paris. Author of the global megahit and major motion picture Crazy Rich Asians, Kwan brings his signature flare for material opulence and messy romantic entanglements, from Long Island all the way to the Tyrrhenian Sea. In an unforgettable conversation with author Doretta Lau, Kwan will speak to his new opus and romcom of manners, which pays homage to E.M. Forester’s A Room with a View. This is an event you won’t want to miss!
