Sung Yim Author Interview

On Wednesday 15, 2017, I interviewed author Sung Yim about their new memoir, What About the Rest of Your Life at their reading at Elliott Bay Book Company (Event page). Yim is a queer, gender non-conforming, Korean immigrant. They write about family trauma, relationship abuse, disconnection from Korean culture due to diaspora, mental illness, and finding healthy love. I conversed with Yim about these topics, their writing processes, ancestral food, and what it feels like for them to write so publicly about their personal trauma.
