当两位传奇女性坐在同一张餐桌旁，会发生什么？
2026年4月14日，周二晚6:00–7:30，华美协进社（China Institute of America）诚邀您莅临一场难得的文学与美食之夜——国际知名作家、编剧严歌苓，与横跨舞蹈、电影、文学三界的艺术家江青，将围绕食物、流离、记忆与创造力，展开一次亲密而深刻的对谈。
🍽️ 一本书，一段疫情中的自救之旅
江青的新书《食中作乐》，记录了她在瑞典独自度过新冠疫情隔离期的真实经历。彼时，与家人和朋友的联结几近断绝，她选择用烹饪来抵抗孤独——以当地食材重新演绎中国菜肴，在一道道菜肴中续接对亲人的思念，重新寻回日常生活的喜悦与意义。
这本书由摄影师、联合作者燕楠以唯美影像共同呈现，由Sophie Sa译成英文，严歌苓亲自作序与后记。它不只是一本食谱，更是一位艺术家的生命自传。
✍️ 两位老友，跨越半生的文学情谊
严歌苓，当今华语文坛最具国际影响力的作家之一，与张艺谋、陈凯歌、李安、冯小刚等导演长期合作，包括《芳华》等著作逾40部，作品已被译成21种语言。她将作为江青最亲密的对谈者，与她共同讲述艺术人生、流亡岁月，以及烹饪如何成为文化记忆与心灵救赎的方式。
