I enjoyed the interview--good job, Mark! She speaks like she writes, in beautifully descriptive full sentences and paragraphs. I wonder whether her editor has to do much work (or maybe you edited the interview, Mark?)
There are several quotes I’d like to discuss. Here’s one: “When she could still operate her first-generation iPad, my mother gave me a contact list of everyone she was still in touch with in China, and told me that, except for her siblings, no one must know of her affliction. Such self-imposed isolation seemed like madness to me, but she preferred to cut friends out of her life rather than admit to the indignity of her compromised state. Her body’s insurrection, my mother believes, is her punishment for her prideful strivings in America.”
