Grace M. Cho

The author discusses her new memoir, which chronicles her experience of the Korean War and the personal traumas to come out of it, which may have contributed to the onset of schizophrenia.

I listened to @MarieMyungOkLee's The Evening Hero on audiobook, and I loved it so much that I'm also getting a hard copy. It portrays the aftermath of the Korean war with great sensitivity, but it also satirizes whiteness and middle American culture. So funny and moving! https://t.co/DhijWtAbnq

Another one of my fave books that I read this summer. I loved @AntonHur's translation, because it preserved the rhythm and feel of Korean. Thanks @FeministPress for the ARC!

I've just finished reading @Milkweed_Books' Worldly Things and it's a balm for the soul. Thank you @MKDorDiggsy for this work of profound tenderness and beauty. #NationalPoetryMonth Worldly Things - Milkweed Editions https://milkweed.org/book/worldly-things via @AddThis

Congratulations to all the honorees at last night's @nationalbook awards! It was an amazing event. Here I am with my friend and 2021 finalist, Nicole Eustace, whose book, Covered with Night, is essential reading for anyone in interested in justice. It also won a Pulitzer! https://t.co/tSCmx5aZ41

John Cho's Troublemaker really hit home with my 9-year-old, who said, "it was suspenseful and very realistic." To my delight, his 4th-grade class will also be reading it this year. Thank you @JohnTheCho for trusting children to engage with the difficult topic of racial violence. https://t.co/KJPTVUPr0p

I moved to NYC in 1996 to study with #bellhooks. She took for granted that I would one day write a book, even when I had not yet imagined it. Ultimately, she taught me that writing is not about talent, but about courage and love. Thank you, miss bell. https://tinyurl.com/nbmmv7v5

I've been a fan of Christopher Kimball since 1993, and today I'm a guest on @177MilkStreet podcast. Foodie dreams do come true! Listening to "Kimchi and Rice: A True Story of War and Survival" on Milk Street Radio https://t.co/3ZbKizqmvL via @177MilkStreet

So saddened to learn of the incomparable bell hooks' passing. She was my first teacher and mentor when I moved to NYC in 1996, and she profoundly shaped my heart and mind. Here's a podcast episode in which I discuss the impact of Teaching to Transgress. RIP miss bell. I love you. https://t.co/DvxjHBwVGD
