Join MPR News journalist Brandt Williams in discussion with award-winning novelist Chang-rae Lee about his newest book, My Year Abroad. After the interview, stick around for a live interactive panel discussion moderated by the Star Tribune! From the publisher: Rich with commentary on Western attitudes, Eastern stereotypes, capitalism, global trade, mental health, parenthood, mentorship, and more, My Year Abroad is also an exploration of the surprising effects of cultural immersion – on a young American in Asia, on a Chinese man in America, and on an unlikely couple hiding out in the suburbs. Tinged at once with humor and darkness, electric with its accumulating surprises and suspense, My Year Abroad is a novel that only Chang-rae Lee could have written, and one that will be read and discussed for years to come.
