A Q&A with the author of Fragile Creatures, Khin Myint
Khin Myint is the author of Fragile Creatures: A Memoir, forthcoming in June. In Fragile Creatures, Khin documents his experiences of racism and bullying growing up in Perth, his sister’s mysterious chronic illness and pursuit of euthanasia, and the bizarre shifting dynamic of his relationship with his ex-partner. Through it all, he is remarkably composed, guiding the reader through a complex period of his life with a steady hand.
In this interview, Khin talks about how writing his memoir helped him to turn loss into meaning, how he’s feeling ahead of the book’s release, and the questions that he hopes readers will ask themselves after Fragile Creatures.
