About the Talk

Dr. Susanna Ho of the Center for Language Education at HKUST will discuss and compare her two novels: Mother’s Tongue: A Story of Forgiving and Forgetting and her very recent, Who’s that Ant? Whose Dead End?. She will explore how she sees the world through the eyes of the main characters: a Nameless Woman, addressed as “Mum” in the first and an Ant in the other.

In this book talk, she will share how she makes sense of her world through writing. Upon reading a section from the book, she will illustrate the source of inspiration, be it from a personal or world event, or a book that she was reading at the time of writing. We hope the presentation will illuminate both Dr. Ho’s work and the writing process itself.
