Listen to Gene Luen Yang on TED Radio Hour

Normally, when book creators appear on NPR, it’s a quick little segment. But today – ho ho! – we get a whole hour with Gene Luen Yang.
In this wonderful episode of TED Radio Hour, Gene talks about his life and work, focusing on his groundbreaking comic American Born Chinese (which has recently been adapted for Disney+).
