What better way to commemorate the theme of memory than with a biography? This one is special because the biographer, Chan Li Shan, knew Lee Wen personally. She details about how frustrating her friend and former boss was and how she even wanted to give up on this project. These vignettes of Lee Wen also offer intimate insights into personal friendships, art, and the way people will remember us.
