Brian interviews George Lee. George was born and raised in China. He earned an M.A. in English literature from University of Calgary, and a Juris Doctor degree from University of Victoria. He practices law in Vancouver, Canada. George talks about his award-winning novel "Dancing in the River". It won the 2021 Guernica Prize for Literary Fiction. The book draws on Lee’s own life experiences growing up in China, and tells the coming of age story of a young boy during Mao’s Cultural Revolution—a boy named Little Bright living in a small, riverside town who is heavily indoctrinated by the anti-Western sentiment of the time and place. The perspective afforded in this stunning novel—the insights into culture, politics, and personal experience—are crucial to a global understanding of Chinese history.
