Rebecca Kuang spoke Mandarin first. But by five, English had started taking over. She has had to fight to keep working on her Mandarin, lifting it from the language of a five year old that moved to the US, to weekly schooling and immersion programmes that meant she could engage with her family’s language in the way she’d always hoped to. This personal story is of course central to her latest work, Taipei Story.
This is a pinch-me career moment - interviewing Rebecca Kuang about her books and multilingualism on my show Word For Word. All of my flabbers were ghasted when I found out she’d mentioned she was reading my book How To Kill A Language in her newsletter, and once I’d read Taipei Story it made total sense. Both of us, in two different creative expressions, have gone in search for the languages of our grandparents.
Comment “Rebecca” and I’ll send you the full conversation.

For R.F. Kuang, her latest novel might be her most personal one yet.
Taipei Story is about Lily, a Chinese American college student who spends the summer in a language program in Taipei, hoping to connect with her culture and family. But as things unravel, Lily starts to realize that true belonging goes deeper than language and words.
Today on #Bookends, Kuang and Mattea Roach have a deeply personal conversation in front of a live audience at the Winter Garden Theatre in partnership with TIFA.
