The Tiger Flu: Larissa Lai profiled in Quill and Quire cover story
Larissa Lai talks about her new novel The Tiger Flu -- her first in sixteen years -- in Quill and Quire's November 2018 cover story: “There was an openness and a willingness to free-fall that I miss. This has been a fundamentally different experience in writing.”
