In Lucky Girl (Algonquin, 2009) Mei-Ling Hopgood tells the story of when her birth family from Taiwan contacted her for the first time when she was in her twenties. The book explores her developing relationship with them and their culture. Her most recent book, How Eskimos Keep Their Babies Warm (Algonquin, 2012) is a tour of child-rearing practices around the world. Her visit is in connection with Marianne Novy's class, Changing Families in Literature, EngLit 0617.
On March 5, at 4:30 PM, in 501 Cathedral of Learning, Mei-Ling Hopgood will also meet with students interested in nonfiction writing in an open session of Mark Kramer's class.
