Putong Hua: Home
Tonight 8:00pm at The Bookworm.
What better way to spend a Friday than to listen to and maybe join in some knee-slapping, tear-herking, good old-fashioned story telling. Putong Hua is back! This month’s theme: HOME.
Here’s a little something to get those creative juices flowing:
1. Three storytellers tell The Moth something about home. A writer and his sister take a trip home to bury their mother. A grandson brings joy to a nursing home. A Georgian woman goes to war to prevent her family home from being turned into a golf clubhouse.
2. Forget movie star home tours, take a Google maps tour of famous writers’ homes instead.

2. More eye porn for the book lover. Architectural Digest picks the best home libraries.
