Blog — YANG BENAR

Thanks for stopping by my re-launched site. It’s a work in progress, so please bear with me.

I blog about different topics including books, culture, society, identity, and writing. Opinions are my own and can change. All images are mine unless stated otherwise.

Check back for updates on fiction novels I’ve been working on.
