It's a form of love to say, I'm not going to burden my child with these stories of what I've experienced.

from that parent because they're not telling that story.
When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
Okay.
Susan Choi, you took a trip to Japan when you were a kid.
Why did you go, first of all?
It's really fascinating to hear you talk about your dad and your dad's history, to talk about your trip in Japan and hear how all these ideas have kind of filtered into something like this.
I guess the key question, Susan, is how much of you and your family are in this novel flashlight?
On ABC Radio National, this is the book show coming to you from the Margaret River Readers and Writers Festival.
I'm Claire Nicholls and I'm speaking to Susan Choi about her wonderful Booker shortlisted novel, Flashlight.
So, Louise's parents are Cirque and Anne.
These are two people who I say Susan Choi should not be married to each other.

What were they thinking?

ethnically Korean, born in Japan, finds his way to America and he's going to meet this white woman.
And what draws these two to each other in the first instance?
That's pretty special.
You've mentioned how strict Cirque is, how angry Cirque is.
