ARCHIVE: Jamie Ford | Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
In 2009, author Jamie Ford stopped by our studios to discuss his debut novel, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. It tells the story of a Chinese-American boy in Seattle during the 1940s and his connection to a Japanese-American girl who was interned at a camp south of Seattle. Former volunteer Na Young Kwon sat down with Ford to talk about the novel, the hotel that serves as its setting, the Seattle jazz scene, and more.
