Shorties (Two Interviews with Maria Dong, New Music from Vagabon, and more)
Maria Dong discussed her new novel with Electric Literature.
I’m mostly done writing white people. I knew I wanted her to be Asian. I knew I wanted her to be queer, because I’m queer, and honestly it’s just easier. I’m mentally ill, so I don’t know if I could write a person without mental illness. I think it would be difficult.
Shondaland also profiled Dong.
