Interview with Charlene Tzu Hsien HuangWho have been the most influential writers in your life? After graduate school when I began teaching, I realized that so much of the day belonged to other people. Spending time only for myself, I think, is one of the kindest acts of generosity I could offer for myself. I also think running is one of the best ways to not feel too isolated in my world. CHARLENE TZU HSIEN HUANG is a writer originally from Taipei, Taiwan, and is now based in Medford, MA.
