Jean Kyoung Frazier in conversation with Alice Sola Kim for PIZZA GIRL

We hosted Jean Kyoung Frazier in July to celebrate her debut novel, Pizza Girl, with writer Alice Sola Kim.

Witty and quirky, moving and fearless, Jean Kyoung Frazier’s debut novel follows a pregnant 18-year pizza delivery girl through suburban Los Angeles as her curiosity about a woman who orders pickle pizzas once a week becomes increasingly obsessive.
