Gene Luen Yang - Author of American Born Chinese A Replay of Episode 39 from June 2022

I just finished watching the amazing television adaptation of American Born Chinese.  It is a MUST-WATCH!  I really enjoyed how, like the novel, it merged the fantastical and real worlds.  It stars a plethora of some of the best Chinese American actors, and I loved seeing all the beautiful Asian names in the end credits both in front and behind the cameras! Madi and I recorded this episode with Gene about a year ago, and it is definitely still one of my favorites.  I think you'll enjoy hearing Gene's inspiration and motivation for writing American Born Chinese.  Plus, you won't disagree with his InfatuAsian pick! Hope you enjoy (or re-enjoy) listening! #americanbornchinese #asianauthor #jinwang #geneluenyang #asianpodcaster #asianamericanpodcast
