Ling Ling Huang on Speculative Fiction, Identity, and the Dark Side of Beauty

This week on Sick Sad Lit, I talk with Ling Ling Huang, author, violinist, and literary shapeshifter, about speculative fiction, heartbreak, and the freedom of creative duality.

We discuss:

• Writing identity in a commodified world
• The sinister shimmer of the beauty industry
• Technology, transformation, and speculative fiction
• The grief of friendship loss (with my own personal story I haven’t shared before)
• How music, motherhood, and empathy shape creative expression
