Bestselling author Kevin Kwan doesn’t write about rich Asian people – he writes about crazy rich Asian people.
the biggest deal for Kwan is that Crazy Rich Asians is being made into a Hollywood romantic comedy with an all-Asian cast. The last major US release to do that was The Joy Luck Club, a heart-tugging family drama from 1993.
A few days after launching his latest novel in the United States, Kwan jetted over to Malaysia, where the actors were filming on set late this month.
“It’s going brilliantly,” Kwan says by phone from Kuala Lumpur. “It’s an amazing team. It’s surreal to be here and see the book come to life.”
Sounding a bit star-struck, he adds: “Michelle Yeoh is here. I’ve been watching her movies since I was a kid – I’ve admired her for so long. She’s a legend, and she brings so much to the role of Eleanor. She was my ultimate wish when I first spoke to the producer.”
