NPR's Book of the DayWhat does 'The Family Chao' have in common with Dostoyevsky? Murder and more.Patriarch Leo Chao is murdered at his restaurant at the beginning of Lan Samantha Chang's new novel The Family Chao. Eventually family secrets and bitterness reveal themselves — much like a Dostoyevsky novel, from whom Chao took a lot of inspiration.

Chang told Simon that she just enjoyed writing it so much that humor became part of it.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy2022-02-1608 min
