What Isn’t There is Jocelyn Lieu’s own interpretation of what 9/11 meant to her and to New York City. It presents her kaleidoscope of memories of the unforeseen consequences of September 11, when an unprecedented act of violence collided with her day to day life as a mother and a writer. This retelling of the experience of a woman who lived near Ground Zero restores the event back in the realm of lived experience where it belongs.

Born a bi-racial Chinese-American in New York, Jocelyn Lieu was educated at Yale. She has taught writing and Asian American literature at Purdue, Butler, and Long Island universities has been on the liberal studies faculty of Parsons School of Design/New School University.
