Job title:
Professor, Ethnic Studies/Asian American Studies
Bio:
Quotations:
"I can write sometimes for eight hours, ten hours with just a break for lunch.""It’s that way with almost every book; I get absorbed in it. When I was in Hawaii, I was writing Iron Cages, and I would often go jogging or bicycling–-some of you know that I’m a surfer, right? I’d go to the beach around 4:00. What’s kind of interesting here, I’m also still thinking about that chapter that I was working on. Maybe just being out there, away from my desk, enables me to see pieces of the puzzle come together in a different kind of configuration."
"I guess what I would say to students is these breaks can be very important in terms of the writing process."
