“Unveiling Identity: How Names Bind Us in Kate Lu Sedor’s Captivating Exploration”
Writing could not make me white, and it could not give me a direct genetic line to Wong, or Tan, or Hong Kingston. I had to compose my way out of these boxes, light dark paths with a starburst of letters all my own.
When I tell people I write speculative fiction, an answer I often get is, “Like sci-fi?” It’s a reaction I’m not sure I will ever tire of, because it creates space for me to explain my work, to talk about what I’m interested in: my heritage, yes, but also social inequity, environmental collapse, the dark side of the promise of science.
