Description

Alexander Chee's How to Write an Autobiographical Novel is a masterful exploration of life, literature and politics. This collection of interconnected essays weaves together the author's experiences as a student, teacher, reader, writer and activist, grappling with his identities as a son, gay man, Korean American and artist. Through essays that are both commanding and heartbreaking, Chee examines formative experiences, including the AIDS crisis, 9/11 and the election of Donald Trump. He also reflects on the writing process, drawing on his own life and fiction to inform his nonfiction work. By sharing his insights, Chee asks questions about how we create ourselves in life and art, and how to fight when our dearest truths are under attack. This thought-provoking book is a testament to Chee's skill as an essayist and his ability to craft compelling narratives from the complexities of his own life.
