Kate Schwarz asked Phuc Tran:

What's the question you are most tired of answering, and what is the question you wish people would ask you?

Phuc Tran Hi, Kate! I get asked the same ten(ish) questions most of the time, and that's okay. I get it. I've been talking to readers about one thing, but readers, this is the only time that they've talked to me. When that happens, there's an understandable gap in our experiences. This is my long and sneaky way of saying that I don't want to put folks' questions in the "tired of answering" category because I don't want to tamp down someone's curiosity (though I think they would find most of answers to those commonly asked questions with a youtube or google search). I do love answering bigger, cultural, or pop cultural questions as well as questions about identity, belonging, race, politics, etc. You know, the easy stuff. Thanks for YOUR question! Cheers, Phuc

Yogesh asked Phuc Tran:

Hi Phuc, this is not a question. I just wanted to say I thoroughly enjoyed your memoir. I felt a connection to your story, having been born in a Hindu family in a Buddhist kingdom and been sent catholic missionary school, and capping all that with finally coming to America as a refugee just as Trump was rising in politics! I hope you write more books. I will be the first in line to buy them..?

Hey Phuc. Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your book but realized I don't really have the words to do so. Just know I couldn't put it down. It was lovely and made me smile. Keep doin' what you're doin', dude. And because this stupid box requires a question mark, here one is?
