The Blurred Borderline Between Spirits & Humans: A Q&A with Yangsze Choo

It’s a truth universally acknowledged around our office that the Discover selection committee readers love a great coming of age story — in fact, our entire Fall 2013 list is made up of coming of age stories, both fiction and non — and  The Ghost Bride is one of the most mesmerizing iterations of the classic trope that we’re seen recently.  Yangsze Choo discusses Chinese literary traditions, why she was drawn to write about the overlap between everyday life and the supernatural, and the parallels between 1890s colonial Malaya and Jane Austen’s world, among other things, with Discover Great New Writers.
