SUMMARY:From Lawyer to Author: Charles Yu ’01 and Abigail Hing Wen ’04
DESCRIPTION:Registration here.  \nHow do you chart a path from law school to writing fiction? Two critically-acclaimed authors and CLS alumni talk about combining their legal training\, personal experiences\, and creative sparks into compelling novels.  Charles Yu’s National Book award-winning novel\, Interior Chinatown\, tells the story of a movie extra navigating the limited roles afforded to Asian actors. Abigail Hing Wen’s debut novel and New York Times bestseller\, Loveboat\, Taipei is a coming-of-age story of an 18-year-old Asian American woman transplanted from Ohio to Taiwan for the summer of adventure and self-discovery.  Both writers are joined by Annie Xie JD‘21\, Rebecca Tan LLM’21\, Long Dang JD’22\, and Professor Ben Liebman to discuss their creative journeys. This event is organized by the Hong Yen Chang Center for Chinese Legal Studies and co-sponsored by the Columbia Asian Pacific American Law Students Association (APALSA) and the Taiwanese Law and Culture Club. \nAbigail Hing Wen ’04 is the New York Times best selling author of Loveboat\, Taipei\, with its sequel forthcoming from HarperCollins 2022.

She also earned her MFA in Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts and a BA from Harvard. Abigail is serving as Executive Producer for the film adaptation of Loveboat\, Taipei alongside ACE Entertainment\, producers of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.
