Koh joins Jennifer to discuss her novel, "The Liberators", winner of the 2024 New York Public Library's Young Lions Fiction Award. Though it is a novel covering dark themes spanning several generations through historical tragic events, E.J. continuously manages to find light within the darkness, giving the audience a story that Jennifer finds delicate and "smooth as silk". E.J. discusses her family's influence in writing her memoir and novels, her ambition to write 1,000 love letters, and how her process of writing ultimately lends as a conduit for her real passion—making a connection with humanity.
