Tracey Lien

Mostly Books Meets...

It is our great pleasure to welcome onto the podcast this week debut novelist, and journalist, Tracey Lien. Tracey grew up in Sydney, Australia. She was previously a reporter for Vox Media before going on to work for the Los Angeles Times. Tracey then made the brave leap into the world of fiction and joined the MFA program at the University of Kansas. It was during this time that her first novel All That’s Left Unsaid was born. Set in the Vietnamese enclave of Cabramatta in Sydney the story opens with the brutal murder of a seventeen-year-old boy. Realising that the full details of the crime are not being uncovered by the police the sister of the murdered boy, Ky, takes it upon herself to find the witnesses and discover the truth for herself. All That’s Left Unsaid manages to be both a compelling page-turner as well as a profound exploration of racism and the Vietnamese-Australian experience. The podcast is produced and presented by Jack Wrighton @jackwrighton and the team at Mostly Books.
