Author Lan Samantha Chang and her latest novel, The Family Chao
Michael C. Baradi, September 12, 2023

I met Lan Samantha Chang in 2019 when I took a short vacation to Iowa City, IA, home to the University of Iowa, known for its football team, the Hawkeyes, its speech-language pathology program, and its highly celebrated graduate program in creative writing, the Iowa Writers' Workshop.
