Finding “Enough”: A Conversation with Nicole Chung, by Renee H. Shea Interviews [email protected] Mon, 04/03/2023 - 21:13 Writer and editor Nicole Chung is the author of the best-selling memoir All You Can Ever Know (Catapult, 2018), the story of the search for her Korean birth family and a challenge to the stereotyped rescue narrative of transracial adoption. In her new memoir, A Living Remedy (Harper Collins, 2023), she reflects on the circumstances of her adoptive parents’ deaths. Her grief for them is complicated by the pandemic as she explores how “grief provides a living remedy,” a line from “Three Days,” by Marie Howe. With ailing parents on the West Coast and her husband and daughters in lockdown on the East Coast, Chung chronicles what she describes as “the agonizing decision of weighing my options when I really had no options”—a personal crisis that was amplified by the fault lines of the national health care system. Chung is currently a contributing writer at the Atlantic, where she offers advice and insights about the writing life in her newsletter, I Have Notes. Her nonfiction has appeared in numerous publications, including the New York Times, the Guardian, Slate, and Vulture. Renee H. Shea: Perhaps because of Prince Harry’s Spare, memoir seems to be in the spotlight right now with any number of people weighing in. Recently, Patti Davis, daughter of former president Ronald Reagan, wrote about the regret she... Continue reading at 'World Literature Today'
