Pam Chun writes fiction rooted in the Chinese-Hawaiian experience. The Money Dragon (2002) follows a Chinese immigrant woman’s life in Hawaii, tracing her story through decades of cultural change on the islands. When Strange Gods Call (2011) continues exploring the clash between traditional Chinese values and modern Hawaiian life, while The Perfect Tea Thief (2014) blends historical fiction with the story of tea trade and cultural exchange.
Her non-fiction work, The Seagull’s Gardener: My Father’s Last Odyssey (2012), is a personal memoir about her father’s final years. Chun’s books are closely tied to place, and Hawaii’s multicultural history forms the foundation of everything she writes.
