In this episode, writer Rachel Khong talks with Resort founder Catherine LaSota about the joy of a good San Francisco walk, the community of the Ruby, and Rachel's awesome system for marking progress in her writing (it involves a ruler and coloring inside the lines).
Rachel Khong is a writer living in San Francisco. Her debut novel, Goodbye, Vitamin, won the 2017 California Book Award for First Fiction, and was a Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist for First Fiction. From 2011 to 2016, she was the managing editor then executive editor of Lucky Peach magazine. With Lucky Peach, she also edited a cookbook about eggs, called All About Eggs.
