Shownotes

On this episode we are discussing our May 2023 book club pick, The Fortunes of Jaded Women by Carolyn Huynh. A story about a Vietnamese family dealing with the effects of a very petty curse that has resulted in generations of only daughters to be born to their family, and the modern decedents in America dealing with all the generational trauma that comes from being daughters to refugee mothers. To help us dive into all the Vietnamese American familial drama we've invited a special guest Hanh Nguyen, one of Marvin's co-hosts on the Good Pop Culture Club podcast and Senior Culture Editor at Salon.com!
