Hong Kong Literary Festival 2026

HK-based authors Ysabelle Cheung, Kaitlin Chan, and Karen Cheung reflect on how the female body serves as a symbol and an experience in writing.

This intimate conversation brings together three Hong Kong–based authors—Ysabelle Cheung, Kaitlin Chan, and Karen Cheung to explore their creative practices and storytelling approaches. Focusing on character interiority, the discussion examines how inner lives are shaped, revealed, and challenged on the page. The authors also reflect on how the female body appears in their work: as a site, symbol, and lived experience. Through close attention to voice, perspective, and embodiment, this talk offers insight into how contemporary fiction engages with identity, intimacy, and the complexities of writing women’s stories in and from Hong Kong.
