Fiction writer Lan Samantha Chang, whom we talked to in issue 4, has been named the new director of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, the most pretigious creative writing program in the country. Awesome. Not only is she the first Asian American, but she's also the first woman to lead the workshop in its 70-year history. Associated Press story here.

I actually think the Harajuku Girls give us Asians a good name. They dress classy and they look adorable. They represent her. Its not like she's degrading them.
