Khan Wong’s debut novel The Circus Infinite is not only a gripping science-fiction tale set in a lushly imagined universe teeming with fabulous aliens, extraordinary powers, and political drama, but also a story that celebrates the full spectrum of gender and sexuality, with a gay, ace relationship at its center. To top it all off, it revolves around a circus, the perfect manifestation of outsider community, artistic expression, and a sense of wonder. MFA Comics Chair Justin Hall interviews Wong (a friend for over twenty years) on the writing process, world-building, QTPOC representation in science-fiction, and his favorite X-Men characters. 

Publisher’s Weekly describes The Circus Infinite as an “intimate, joyful space opera debut [that] hooks readers from the outset with its blend of action, magic, and queer romance.” Come meet the author and see what makes him tick!
