Episode 11: Superfan
Vancouver author Jen Sookfong Lee joins the podcast to talk about her latest book Superfan. Jen uses her lifelong obsession with pop culture as a lens to explore family, grief, the power of female rage, Asian fetish, and what it costs to resist the trap of being a “good Chinese girl.” Amy pines over Andrew McCarthy and Jen muses over whether Kanye West will get a second chance in the court of public opinion.
