ANGELA TUNG, a longtime New Yorker who now lives in San Francisco, is, among other things, TNB’s resident expert on Chinese-American culture…which is a fancy way of saying she knows a good dumpling when she tastes one.
Growing up, she was neither a Beautiful Girl nor a Gang Girl.
She has lousy taste in music, but impeccable taste in words.
She loves her maternal grandmother, Puo-puo…and was haunted by the death of her paternal grandmother (and the genealogical issues it brought up).
The whole yogic free-your-mind thing seems to have eluded her, although she totally gets the notion of being what you most fear (rats!).
Chinese New Year, she digs.Ā Chinese Christmas?Ā Not so much.
And if you think, after reading this, that she’s a negative person, you can bite me.
Oh cool! Angela’s featured!
yay me! š
Right on!
I love Angela’s writing. I’m a huge fan. Great POV and voice and a tremendously nice person.
Woo!
thanks gloria! and thanks for giving me a heads up on Twitter. i am particularly clueless this week.
Not a problem. Would’ve been a shame if there’d been a surprise party for you and you couldn’t make it.
Yay! The lovely Angela Tung with the beautiful and ironic voice. Now, I need to go back and re-read! xx
and the sweet Zara with her lovely comments! š
Angela,
I love everything that you write.
You are magical!
no, *you’re* magical, irene, with your backwards writing powers and that light saber.
YAY ANGELA!!!! Congrats on the feature!
thanks ronlyn!
Wow…it’s Angela! I’ve been a fan since the very first piece…. xxo~ r
thank you, robin! i feel the same way about your writing.
I just re-read three of your pieces Angela. On the three I read, I didn’t see any comments from me… which is weird, because in my mind, I ALWAYS comment on your pieces. I love your writing!
thanks dana! i feel the same way about others’ writing – i’ll read something and love it but won’t necessarily comment.
Congrats, Angela! I agree with Irene. You’re magic.
aw cynthia! thanks!
