Other authors participating this year include Matthew Perry, Amber Tamblyn, Jody Wilson-Raybould and other incredible authors. This event is part of the Hot Docs Author Talks series, a popular programme within their beloved Curious Minds Festival. A dazzling story about the power of art to create change, and an instant classic of dystopian literature, earning comparisons to The Handmaid’s Tale, this deeply suspenseful, heartrending novel confirms Ng’s place as one of our most important and influential writers. Our Missing Hearts tells the story of Bird Gardner, a 12-year old boy growing up in an America where the authorities are relocating children of dissidents, especially those of Asian origin, under laws meant to preserve “American culture.” When Bird receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing, he is pulled into an unforgettable quest to find his mother, a Chinese American poet who left the family when he was nine years old. It’s a book that’s receiving high praise, with critics calling it “literary perfection”. Attention book lovers: this is a must-do literary event! On Tuesday, October 24, bestselling author Celeste Ng ( Little Fires Everywhere ) will sit down with Lainey Liu, co-host of The Social and founder of Lainey Gossip, to discuss her brilliant new novel Our Missing Hearts.
