In How to Write an Autobiographical Novel, his first collection of non-fiction, Chee tracks his life from student to teacher, reader to writer, and reckons with his identities as a son, a gay man, a Korean American, an artist, an activist, a lover, and a friend. “If writing is a form of drag for Chee, it is also an act of mystic invocation and transference.”—New York Times Book Review
