Author Kevin Kwan has had a very long day. This is his sixth media interview already. Normally, he would be on tour right now, to promote Sex And Vanity, his latest book. Due to the pandemic, however, all publicity has to be done remotely from his home.

There is a slight tone of tiredness to his voice. Fortunately, the longer he speaks, the more animated he becomes.
