Celeste Ng on Female Asian American Writers

2014 was the Year of Reading Women, so Ng's Salon.com article on Asian American women writers is a nice continuation of a thread that shouldn't be allowed to go away.Snippet:

This summer, I traveled around the U.S. to promote my debut novel, “Everything I Never Told You.”  At one university where I’d been invited to speak, I asked the professor hosting me how he’d found me.  He admitted he’d needed an Asian American woman fiction writer to balance his speaker lineup. “There aren’t a lot of you out there,” he said, with evident embarrassment.

On the personal front I was happy to see my book cited on her very comprehensive list.And on the personal reading front, I'm taking Celeste Ng's novel with me on the plane to Vermont because I have just started reading it and can't stop.
