The Original - H.T. Tsiang Walking Tour

THE ORIGINAL is an immersive walking tour that follows the life of radical Chinese American author H.T. Tsiang through New York’s Greenwich Village. Alternatively repressed and ridiculed in his own time, Tsiang was both an important forebearer of modern Asian American literature and a uniquely enigmatic figure in his own right. The walk explores Tsiang’s life and letters to understand what made him an “original.”

Tours will be led by Dr. Michael Menor Salgarolo, an award-winning historian, licensed tour guide, and retired stand-up comedian. He teaches courses in Asian/Pacific/American Studies at NYU.
