Description


To celebrate Halloween and the season of extremes, K-Ming Chang returns to discuss Organ Meats, which is the final story in her mythic triptych (or what she calls the “fecal trio”). She extends her thoughts on experimenting with maximalist language first and making metaphors literal. She also reflects on her process writing the tonally different novella Cecilia, which features her usual meditations on matriarchal storytelling, intimacies, and relationships, and her focus on labor.
