In today’s episode, I am chatting with Dr. Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai. Born and
raised in Việt Nam, she is the author of the global best-selling novels The
Mountains Sing and Dust Child.

In this episode, Quế Mai shares about the importance of tonal marks in the
Vietnamese language, how writing saved her with a traveling lifestyle, what
she has learned about herself through writing. She brought a wonderful book
flight with her to highlight Vietnamese authors. Happy listening!
