LAN SAMANTHA CHANG

10/04/2010 7:00 pm

A welcome Elliott Bay return is made this evening by fiction writer Lan Samantha Chang, who now serves as director of the renowned Iowa Writers' Workshop, in addition to writing superb books. She follows Hunger and Inheritance with her new novel, All is Forgotten, Nothing is Lost (W.W. Norton). "Among the many threads Chang elegantly pursues—the fraught relationships between mentors and students, the value of poetry, the price of ambition—it is her indelible portrait of the loneliness of artistic endeavor that will haunt readers the most in this exquisitely written novel about the poet's lot." - Booklist. "All is Forgotten, Nothing is Lost offers a starkly honest portrait of people caught up in the drive to write and of the personal bargains and self-deceptions that such an ambition can entail. Lan Samantha Chang was brave to write this book, to turn her novelist's eye onto a world she knows intimately, and her bravery pays off." - Adam Haslett.
