Sun for NYC

Author Fireside Chat: Monsoon Diaries by Dr. Calvin Sun

We invite you to join us for an author fireside chat featuring The Monsoon Diaries by Dr. Calvin Sun. This conversation will be moderated by Darlene Okpo, founder of Adanne Bookshop.


The Monsoon Diaries is the firsthand account of Dr. Calvin Sun, an emergency room doctor who worked tirelessly on the front lines in multiple hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic.


Drawing upon the lessons he learned from his adventures traveling to more than 190 countries in ten years, as well as from the grief he experienced as a teen when his father died, Dr. Sun shares his journey, from growing up as a young Asian American in New York to his calling first to medical school and then to the open road.
