Author Yang Huang, a Boston College alumna, will read from her prize-winning novel, My Good Son in this virtual event to be followed by a Q&A.  The New York Times says of My Good Son, "As with her previous books . . . Huang’s latest explores the generational push-pull of family life in post-Tiananmen China . . . Mr. Cai remains front and center, always compelling, a man doing everything for his boy, the way a good father — supposedly — should.”

Yang Huang grew up in Yangzhou, China and came to the U.S. to study computer science.  She received an MA in English from Boston College, where she studied creative writing with Professor Elizabeth Graver.  Her third novel, My Good Son, won the University of New Orleans Press Publishing Lab Prize. Her linked story collection, My Old Faithful, won the Juniper Prize for fiction, and her debut novel, Living Treasures, won the Nautilus Book Award silver medal in fiction.
