My wife’s novel (and movie) The Sun Is Also A Star, which features a Korean-American boy and Jamaican-American girl as its romantic leads Dr. Seuss’s book Bartholomew and the Oobleck, a careful-what-you- wish-for cautionary tale K-Town, Los Angeles — America’s ur-Koreatown Superstar chefs David Chang and Roy Choi and their mashup ethos My mom and all her friends from high school, who she still sees all the time here in LA Director Hong-jin Na’s horror epic The Wailing which, in addition to being scary AF, also masterfully blended in surprising elements of romance, laugh-out-loud humor, and heartbreaking family drama.Lorde’s ballads Rich Brian’s absurdist, self-effacing raps The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which in its own strange way taught me to really appreciate all the nature around me Anywhere in SoCal’s Inland Empire, doesn’t really matter where The (hopefully growing) tech backlash Finally: Mom & Dad
