Novelist Tom Lin with creator Patrick Armstrong 

presented by Tomorrow Bookstore and Conversation Piece podcast

Tom Lin was born in China and immigrated to the United States when he was four. A graduate of Pomona College, he also holds a PhD from the University of California, Davis. His first novel, The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu, won the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence. He teaches English and creative writing at the University of Iowa.

Patrick Armstrong (he/him) is many things: podcaster, photographer, parent. During the day, he coordinates digital content for Downtown Indy Alliance, which means tackling all forms of production, pre- and post-. During another time of day, he hosts two podcasts: one about the city of Indianapolis and the people in it, another about the experience of being an Asian adoptee in America. Finally, at all other times he is a parent, partner, and person just trying to make it out here. He is also interested in eschewing normal bios for whatever this is. Hello!  

Conversation Piece podcast is a show that expands the story of Indianapolis through conversations with the people who make her up.
