Bad Bad Girl
Gish Jen
in conversation with Lisa See

Gish Jen—award-winning author of The Resisters—and New York Times bestselling author Lisa See (Lady Tan’s Circle of Women, Dreams of Joy) welcome us into a discussion about Jen’s newest novel Bad Bad Girl. In this moving autobiographical book, Jen spans continents, generations, and cultures, and traces a tumultuous mother-daughter relationship with her brilliant humor, courage, and compassion.

“Who cares what genre this is; as portraits of tough mother-daughter relationships go, it’s as moving as they come.” — Kirkus Reviews
