Where does one start when listing the accolades and praise for Celeste Ng's deeply felt, intelligent body of work? Little Fires Everywhere sold millions of copies worldwide and was adapted to a highly acclaimed series on Hulu. Of her latest, Our Missing Hearts, Stephen King shared that “it's impossible not to be moved,” while TIME, NPR, People, The Globe and Mail, and more, listed it as a book of the year. Celeste Ng joined us at the Festival for a conversation with Jael Richardson.

From Little Fires Everywhere to her latest book Our Missing Hearts, bestselling author Celeste Ng is kind of an expert at getting into the minds of moms with secrets. She talks to us about why motherhood and secrecy make for such good stories.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Before Celeste Ng became a best-selling author, she had a side hustle selling miniatures on eBay — dollhouse-size recreations of food were her specialty. Even after the publication of “Little Fires Everywhere,” “Everything I Never Told You,” and, most recently, “Our Missing Hearts,” Celeste still makes tiny things — now, as a hobby. She's come to realize the parallels between making small things and writing: Both give her a chance to look closely at the world.Today, Celeste kicks off our special podcast series, which celebrates 20 years of the Modern Love column, by reading Betsey MacWhinney's essay “Bringing a Daughter Back From the Brink With Poems.” She discusses her own deep-rooted relationship to poetry — and the lessons, large and small, that poems can offer parents and children in uncertain times. 

Her latest novel, OUR MISSING HEARTS, follows in the footsteps of LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE and EVERYTHING I NEVER TOLD YOU as a big-time, captivating bestseller. Celeste visited AMB to chat with fellow NYT bestselling author Caroline Leavitt about what keeps her fascinated and motivated in the world of story creation. Hosted by Trisha Blanchet

Celeste Ng—New York Times bestselling author of three novels, Everything I Never Told You, Little Fires Everywhere, and Our Missing Hearts—joins a live audience to talk about her illustrious career exploring complex family dynamics and themes of identity, race, and culture.

Bestselling novelist Celeste Ng joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to talk about the wide range of GOP policies and initiatives hurting children. This includes recent news of Ron DeSantis pushing anti-LGBTQ+ legislation that authorizes Florida to take emergency custody of trans children “threatened with” receiving gender-affirming care, and justifies the action by classing that care as “physical harm.” They discuss her novel, Our Missing Hearts, which features a young protagonist separated from his Chinese-American mother because of a troublesome fictional law called the Preserving American Culture and Traditions Act. Ng reads from her novel, newly out in paperback.   To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

This week, we read Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng A book that tackles such tough subjects like race relations and taking children from their home is an important read in any case.

Episode 160 Notes and Links to Saima Sitwat's Work       On Episode 160 of The Chills at Will Podcast, Pete welcomes Saima Sitwat, and the two discuss, among other things, her relationship with languages and growing up in Karachi, Pakistan, her early love of reading, her early writing and “chill-inducing” reads, her triumphs and challenges and funny anecdotes mentioned in her book from her days in the United States, her evolving “Americanism” and faith, her activism, places within the American Desi and American Muslim cultures, all chronicled in her 2020 book, and her continuing work to share compelling stories in different media.            Saima A. Sitwat is an author, speaker and educator. She was born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan and migrated to the United States of America in 2003.  Saima holds an M.A. in English Linguistics from the University of Karachi, Pakistan and a Master of Public and International Affairs (MPIA) from the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Pittsburgh. She is also an alumna of the Leadership Pittsburgh Class XXXV. Saima believes in the power of storytelling. Her love for stories has taken her from corporate boardrooms in downtown skyscrapers to Punxsutawney, a town in rural Pennsylvania, on Groundhog Day. She puts her faith in the word, written and spoken, to provide healing and challenging pre-existing paradigms. Her writings have encompassed a vast array of topics and genres from penning opinion pieces and investigative reports to policy papers and developing strategic plans.  From professional writings to personal narratives, Saima always strives to find a singular anchor, that is the story at the core.

We are celebrating a monumental milestone with a special episode of the Vulgar Geniuses Podcast. For our 100th show, we sit down with New York Times bestselling novelist Celeste Ng as we talk about her recent book, Our Missing Hearts. Bird Gardner is a 12-year-old boy who lives alone with his father after having their lives suddenly interrupted years prior when his mother, Margaret, a Chinese-American poet, is snatched away from their home. Book banning and kidnapping children from the homes of dissidents is the norm as America has shifted into a time of dystopian restlessness to maintain "American Culture" after economic peril and violence befall the nation. We speak with Ng about the similarities in her novel to the outside world, her hobby that helps her to unwind, and an item she was able to take from the set of Little Fires Everywhere.

In this special episode (a live event for the Streicker Center!), Zibby speaks to New York Times bestselling author Celeste Ng about Our Missing Hearts, a riveting and tender book about a 12-year-old boy's quest to find his missing mother in a grim, dystopian world. Celeste talks about her book's most prominent elements: anti-Asian racism, the dangers of political extremism, and the power of stories as conduits of memory. She also describes her writing process, the project she paused (but might bring back to life!), and how she juggles her roles of author and mother. Finally, she answers questions from the audience.

New York Magazine: The Mixed Metaphor: Why does the half-Asian, half-white protagonist make us so anxious? https://tribunecontentagency.com/article/new-york-magazine-the-mixed-metaphor-why-does-the-half-asian-half-white-protagonist-make-us-so-anxious/ "It only takes a few years. An economic catastrophe brings on the partial collapse of American society. As the nation recovers, an ascendant right wing blames the crisis on China. In the years following, the United States is rebuilt as an authoritarian nation under the Preserving American Culture and Traditions Act, colloquially known as PACT, an expansive law that allows the government to ban books, monitor private citizens, and disappear political dissidents, all in the name of preventing the spread of un-American views, a category that grows broader by the month: “Appearing sympathetic to China. Appearing insufficiently anti-China. Having any doubts about anything American; having any ties to China at all — no matter how many generations past.” This is fiction, obviously, even as it clearly brings to mind Japanese incarceration and the rise of McCarthyism as well as the wave of racist attacks on people of Asian ancestry since the pandemic began. The book in question is Our Missing Hearts, the third novel from author Celeste Ng, about a 12-year-old boy named Bird Gardner whose mother, a Chinese American poet, abandoned him and his white father three years before."

Celeste Ng's “Little Fires Everywhere” was a best-selling novel, even before it became a hit series for Hulu. Her new novel, “Our Missing Hearts,” is also receiving critical acclaim. It delves into the power of intellectual freedom in an authoritarian world and the strong bonds of family in a society steeped in fear. This week, on Big Books and Bold Ideas, you'll hear Ng on stage at the Fitzgerald Theater with host Kerri Miller for the second Talking Volumes event of 2022. They were joined by musical guest, Meghan Kreidler.

Nerdette Book Club is wrapping up October with this spoilery and delightful conversation on Celeste Ng's newest novel, ‘Our Missing Hearts.' Our panelists are Dessa, rapper and author of the new poetry collection ‘Tits on the Moon,' and Elise Hu, ‘Ted Talks Daily' host and NPR host-at-large. Thank you to all of the listeners who joined the conversation!

Celeste Ng's new novel Our Missing Hearts is set in a dystopian America, where children are taken away from their parents. The story is told from the perspective of a 12-year-old boy who goes in search of his missing mother. In an interview with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe, Ng says she wanted to look at how people rationalize their faith in institutions, and how willing they are to look away from something that's wrong.

Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng. Set in what I think she'd call a dystopian future America, although I don't think we're that far away from it – a law called PACT has been passed which stands for Protect American Culture and Tradition, and where persons of Asian origin (PAO) are shunned. Bird is a twelve year old boy who lives a quiet life with his father – his mother was one such PAO and was a dissident who had to leave her family and go into hiding. One day Bird receives a postcard in the mail which he's sure is from her and sets out on a journey to find her.  Best of Friends by Kamila Shamsie. A book about the lifelong friendship between two women whom we first meet in Karachi in 1988, and follow to London where, forty years later, something which happened to them as fourteen year olds comes back to haunt them and really tests their friendship.

For the next few months, we're sharing some of our favorite conversations from the podcast's archives. This week's segments first appeared in 2017 and 2015, respectively.Before “Little Fires Everywhere” was a hit series streaming on Hulu, it was a best-selling novel by Celeste Ng, who is also the author of the novels “Everything I Never Told You” and, most recently, the dystopian “Our Missing Hearts.” Ng came on the podcast in 2017 to talk about “Little Fires Everywhere,” which addressed themes of race, class and privilege in a fictionalized version of Shaker Heights, Ohio, where she grew up. “There's a real difference between the surface of things and what the true state of things is,” Ng told the host Pamela Paul during her appearance. “That's sort of a theme throughout — everyone in here, there's a difference between the surface of who they appear to be and who they actually are inside.”Also this week, we revisit Paul's 2015 conversation with the esteemed children's book author Judy Blume, who visited the podcast to discuss the recent publication of one of her adult novels, “In the Unlikely Event.”We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review's podcast in general.
