Rebecca is excited to speak with Chinese-Canadian author Su Chang. Su was born and raised in Shanghai and is the daughter of a former and reluctant Red Guard leader, which was the paramilitary arm of Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution beginning in the 1960s. Today, they will be talking about her debut novel, The Immortal Woman, published by House of Anansi in March of this year. It has already garnered a lot of attention and praise from CBC, Indigo Books, and Amazon, to name a few high-powered sources.
