Thursday, May 23, 2024 from 7 PM to 9 PM
University of San Diego Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice
18+
$29 - 39

The USD College of Arts and Sciences and Humanities Center, along with Warwick’s bookstore, will host internationally bestselling author, Kevin Kwan as he discusses his latest novel "Lies and Weddings."

In a globetrotting tale that takes us from the black sand beaches of Hawaii to the skies of Marrakech, from the glitzy bachelor pads of Los Angeles to the inner sanctums of England’s oldest family estates, Lies and Weddings is a story of love, money, murder, sex, and the lies we tell about them all.

Kevin Kwan is the New York Times bestselling author of the "Crazy Rich Asians" and "Sex and Vanity." Kevin has been named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World.

Through education, research and peacemaking activities, the Institute offers programs that advance scholarship and practice in conflict resolution and human rights. The Institute for Peace & Justice at the University of San Diego draws upon Catholic social teaching that sees peace as inseparable from justice and acts to prevent and resolve conflicts that threaten local, national and international peace. History: The Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice (IPJ) at the University of San Diego was founded in 2000 with a generous gift from San Diego philanthropist Joan B. Kroc, who stipulated that the Institute not only "talk about peace, but make peace." Beginning with a Dedicatory Conference in 2001, which was attended by former Presidents Jimmy Carter of the United States and Oscar Arias Sanchez of Costa Rica, along with many other peace-builders and representatives from four conflict-affected states, the IPJ has worked to bring together the powerful and the marginalized to build strong peacebuilding coalitions.
