Description
“This is the same story we all have some piece of in our heritage. It’s such an American story.”
Thi Bui’s “The Best We Could Do” is an illustrated graphic memoir about her family's history and exodus from Vietnam to America. Bui’s comics debut covers love, war, and the refugee's journey — with an intimate focus on one family: her own. This is a book that will break your heart and put it back together. Awhile back Sharon joins Raman and Ryan on their other podcast - Quarantined Comics - for a deep reflection on not just the book, but all of OUR family's immigrant histories. This AAPI Heritage month, we’re sharing a mix of conversations that bring the Asian American experience to life in powerful ways - covering some of the best Asian American comics / creators out there. Please be sure to show your support by picking up these beautiful works wherever you get your favorite books. Got a suggestion for something we should check out? Reach out - himom@modmypod.com
