Chang-rae Lee: The Surrendered

Hosted by

Chang-rae Lee is renowned for his novels about repressed, withdrawn characters, but his new novel, The Surrendered(Riverhead), explores new ground. In this charged conversation, Lee discusses the going-for-broke quality of this novel—its extremities of feeling and its way of dealing with atrocity — and the risks a writer takes in opening up emotionally.
