#257 – Meet Me Tonight in Atlantic City by Jane Wong

On this episode we discuss our January 2024 book club pick, Meet Me Tonight in Atlantic City, by Jane Wong. In this memoir, Jane shares about her upbringing in Atlantic City as a restaurant kid, her trials and tribulations in love, as well as her tumultuous journey to becoming a writer and academic. Jane’s stories aren’t all fun-times, but not all sad-times neither, and they are beautifully brought to life with her evocative prose that will stay with us for some time.
