Why Flashlight's Susan Choi can't stop writing about her dad

How Susan Choi took her own family — and dialled up the tension — in her Booker shortlisted novel, Flashlight.

Flashlight traces the fallout from the disappearance of Serk, a Japanese born Korean on his family, including his American wife and daughter. In the process, the novel powerfully traverses the intersecting 20th century histories of Japan, Korea and the US. 

Susan Choi joined Claire Nichols at the Margaret River Readers and Writers Festival.
