New essay at LitHub
I wrote about the genesis of my new novel The Observant over at LitHub.
"The story of Shin’s abduction served as the kernel for my latest novel The Observant, which tells the story of Vasant Rai, a documentary filmmaker, who is imprisoned in an authoritarian nation and released under the agreement he direct a film about the country’s imperious ruler. The novel, which I began writing after the rise of Trump, marries my background in political organizing with my long-standing interest in film lore—and Shin and Choi’s story, in particular."
