"'Docile' is my journey to form an identity outside the model minority myth, contend with mental illness, and find redemption in art. My agent likes to call it the Asian 'Girl, Interrupted.'"
Excellent interview. I'm new to Substack, but I've started my own journey of writing my own memoir about processing the suicide of my immigrant Caribbean father. Hyeseung's POVs are definitely affirming that I'm moving along the right path. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks, Sari and Hyeseung. I'm adding 'Docile' to my reading list. From this interview, I already know that I'll be nodding at several relationship dynamics. Thank you
I'm play hide-and-seek with my memoir writing. I am drawn back, and then run away from it due to fear and probably hesitation to dig further into my life. This interview was a good push to sit with it more than running and hiding from what wants to be written.
I loved this interview—so illuminating about the mental health issues facing the AAPI community. Can’t wait to read this for August book!
