![]() ![]() "New York is hard," she mentioned at once point, "It's almost like getting a contact high from everyone else's ambitions". She talked about how difficult it is to navigate a new city and so much change at the same time. Mary talked about how she felt like for so long she was saving up all her energy to totally start over in New York. Shea asked Mary if, similar to the characters in her book, she felt compelled to change when she moved to New York in the early 2000s. One of the opening questions of the night hit at something that I've been wondering a lot about on the eve of making a major leap to New York City myself. ![]() Choi discussed fascinating questions that gave more insight into how her new book took shape. I didn't take many notes during Mary's conversation with Jenny Han, but last night, at Blue Willow, I took tons of notes as Shea Serrano and Mary H.K. Choi at two different stops on her virtual book tour for Yolk- once at Books Are Magic (located in Brooklyn) and once at Blue Willow Bookshop (located in Houston). I've been lucky enough to get to see Mary H.K. ![]()
