Books & Boba discussion

Celeste Ng was recently a guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers to promote her newest novel Little Fires Everywhere.

It's a very short interview, but how cool is it to see an Asian American author featured on a late night show? The last such author I can think of is Suki Kim, who wrote Without You, There Is No Us: My Time with the Sons of North Korea's Elite and was interviewed by Jon Stewart.

Viet Thanh Nguyen was on the show a few months ago.

"I'm in L.A. I don't think most people read books in L.A."

Daaamn, Viet Thanh Nguyen throwing some shade. He's not entirely incorrect though. Haha.

Lol! And it's not just exclusive to LA either. Jk! 😉😄

lol but yeah I wished my friends read books for fun haha

I think some people act like everyone in LA works in Hollywood / the entertainment industry, which is obviously not the case. But I do feel like the entertainment industry does influence culture in LA and SoCal a lot.
