• Kevin Kwan on How to (Beautifully) Skewer People

    This Week on The Literary Life Podcast

    “The idea was forming in my head for over ten years. I could really see the idea of this beautiful summer romance beginning on Capri and transporting back to New York. My way of doing a Truman Capote on my experience in New York, with far less sharp knives.” International bestselling author Kevin Kwan talks with Mitchell Kaplan about his new novel, Sex and Vanity, his follow-up to Crazy Rich Asians.
