Author(s) and Guest(s)
Belle Yang
Belle Yang's graphic memoir, Forget Sorrow: An Ancestral Tale (W.W. Norton, $15.95), ". . . echoes both with the tragic darkness of King Lear and the clean austerity of classical Chinese poetry," says Publishers Weekly. While living with her immigrant parents in Carmel, California, Yang, recently graduated from college, but wounded by self-doubt and the bad memories of an ex-boyfriend turned stalker, listens to her father's stories about their family's travails in China during WWII and Mao's revolution. Yang is the award-winning author/illustrator of two works of adult nonfiction and three picture books.
