For this week's episode of The Library Love Fest Podcast, Chris Connolly sat down with Kathy Wang, acclaimed author of Family Trust, to talk about her upcoming novel Impostor Syndrome, on sale June 15th.
Following Julia, Russian spy and COO of Tangerine, one of America's hottest tech companies; Alice, a low-level employee at Tangerine who begins to suspect Julia of misdoing; and Leo, Julia's Russian handler, Impostor Syndrome is part spy thriller and part fly-on-the-wall peek into the tech industry's upper rungs. It also feels startlingly prescient as the world begins to reckon with the power of Google, Facebook, and other tech giants.
So, without further ado, we're happy to share the conversation below! Be sure to keep reading to see more praise for Impostor Syndrome.
"Kathy Wang’s Impostor Syndrome is a smart, ambitious, and hugely original novel that succeeds on every level. It’s part gripping spy thriller, part sharp-eyed Silicon Valley satire, part nuanced character study—and fully, deeply entertaining every step of the way."
—Lou Berney, Edgar Award-winning author of November Road
"Like John le Carré filtered through Tom Wolfe, Impostor Syndrome encapsulates our Facebook anxieties perfectly."
—The Millions
