New work for the the current issue of Alta Journal.
They made the bold move of selecting the 25 books that define California.

Lovely essay by John Freeman on "Goodbye, Vitamin" by Rachel Khong: "Given how many of us have been or will be caretakers of elderly parents, it’s shocking there aren’t more novels about the task." www.altaonline.com/california-b...
The Joy and Pathos of Caring for a Parent in ‘Goodbye, Vitamin’
Rachel Khong’s debut novel about caring for an elderly, demented parent excavates memories lost and recovered.

A few years ago I interviewed the director of one of my all-favorite films ever for Alta Journal but I was shadowbanned on the other app (I still am) so I don’t think it reached that many people.
