Welcoming Convocation + Keynote: "How to Stay a Writer"
Tweet Share
Min Jin Lee quit being a lawyer in 1995 and embarked on a personal “apprenticeship” to learn how to write good fiction. Eleven years later, she published her first novel, after navigating a new life with little money, young children, and the many thrills and difficulties of learning the craft.
