Rejected CentralTension: Su Chang | Episode 62Brent and Dave chat with Chinese-Canadian author Su Chang about the tension between exploring today's truth and the cost it has for those who went before, as well as what it means to write in the inspired shadow of a father who is a great writer himself. Su's journey reminds us that for Chinese emigrants, maintaining relationships with people still in China — as well as with China itself — is delicate, but is also a story worth telling.
