CONTROVERSIAL writer Jung Chang is coming for the upcoming Singapore Writers Festival.
She rose to fame in 1992 with her debut book Wild Swans which is still banned in China.
Still, in a phone interview with Life!, she says that she has had no problems clearing Immigration when she visits China where she was born.
Her follow-up work, the 2005 biography Mao: The Unknown Story, is also banned there.
That has drawn controversy for claiming that the late Chinese leader Mao Zedong was responsible for the deaths of 70 million Chinese people.
'Our book has broken new ground, and you can?t break new ground without controversy,' she says.
Read the full story in Life! in Thursday's edition of The Straits Times.
