Can you tell us a little about what inspired you to write this story?Ī true story, actually! Several years ago, a series of thefts occurred across the Western world, and all the art stolen had originally been looted from China. Portrait of a Thief has everything you could possibly wish for in a heist novel, plus a brilliant exploration of colonialism and its lasting effects. I’m so glad to be here! Portrait of a Thief is a heist novel about Chinese American university students stealing back looted art from Western museums, about identity, diaspora, and art as power. Hi Grace, I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to be able to chat to you today about your sensational debut novel, Portrait of a Thief, which I absolutely adored! For those just hearing about it, how would you best sum it up in one sentence?
