----> Event Description <-----------------------------------------------
Oliver Chin, author of the critically acclaimed graphic novel 9 of 1: A Window to the World and book The Tao of Yao: Insights from Basketball's Brightest Big Man, discusses graphic novels, current events, and the NBA phenomenon of Yao Ming.
The Daily Collegian newspaper of the University of Massachusetts wrote, "Oliver Chin has created a graphic novel that in an innovative and original way depicts the aftermath and personal reactions to the Sept. 11 tragedies. Some may feel that such a serious subject matter should not be committed to such a frivolous medium as the graphic novel, but Chin rose above the limiting connotations of this style of book and created perhaps one of the most honest works regarding the most shocking event in recent U.S. history."
Then Chin provides an inside glimpse into the 7'5" Houston Rockets center, Yao Ming. Discover your inner Tao as Chin captures the spirit of this NBA personality and how his appeal crosses societies, sports, and cultural wisdom.
