Infatu Asian PodcastAn InfatuAsian Side Dish: The Hong Konger Anthology with Sophia HotungAn end-of-the-year surprise episode! In this Side Dish episode, we will discuss The Hong Konger Anthology by Sophia Hotung. Author and Illustrator Sophia Zoomed in from Hong Kong to chat with me about her life's journey, her art, and her 1st book! What started as a joke/parody of The New Yorker magazine covers, grew and evolved as a way for Sophia to express her experiences and observations of a place her family has called home for over 150 years. I think you'll really enjoy hearing her stories living both as an insider and an outsider in Hong Kong.
