In #TheHungerWePassDown, @jensookfonglee.bsky.social has written a terrifying, visceral story of generational trauma and how it is passed down through five generations of women. #BookSky TY to #NetGalley and @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social for the ARC for my honest review here:

Generations haunted by traumas of the past in Jen Sookfong Lee’s chilling new novel The Hunger We Pass Down

It's so rare to see real book reviews in Canada anymore, so I really treasure this one from the Winnipeg Free Press by Keith Cadieux. "A novel of excellent literary merit and a pitch-perfect ghost story."

TFW you talk about your long retired therapist on national public radio and she messages you because she heard it and you immediately panic because the one person in the world you do not want to piss off is the mental health practitioner who knows all your secrets.

Jen Sookfong Lee on the ghosts of motherhood | CBC Arts The Canadian author joins Q guest host Talia Schlanger to talk about her haunting new novel, The Hunger We Pass Down, and how it explores intergenerational trauma in a Chinese Canadian family.

It's very on brand for me to talk about the indignities of the female body but did you also know I can talk about GHOSTS? My interview with Q on CBC is online now! www.cbc.ca/arts/q/jen-s...

TFW you find out your university has published a "prominent alumnus" profile about a classmate who was always a super douche and now is very wealthy from investing in things no one likes and is also a straight white man, but have never featured you or your THIRTEEN books in anything at all.

I've been saving this blurb for last because I am the biggest Kelly Link fan ever. KELLY LIKES MY BOOK. What is this dream I am living in?? Anyway, THE HUNGER WE PASS DOWN comes out next Tuesday in Canada, September 30th in the US. I love you, I want to scare you.
