I'll be appearing today at Page-Turner: The Asian American Literary Festival, at 2 p.m., on a panel with my friends Hua Hsu and Dennis Lim. (It's at Powerhouse in DUMBO.) Lots of other great-sounding speakers, readers, panels—check 'em out!

Here's a bit from an interview I did for Beatrice:

This week I spent far too long watching YouTube clips of old Sandra Bernhard appearances on Letterman. I just couldn’t get enough.

Ka-ching!

Sixty...sixty-five...seventy...eighty...eighty-five!
