(L-R) "The Fetishist" author, Katherine Min and Kayla Min Andrews.

When novelist Katherine Min received a diagnosis of terminal cancer, she abandoned her nearly finished novel and turned to writing nonfiction.

That novel, The Fetishist, is now being published, thanks to Min’s daughter, Kayla Min Andrews. I recently spoke with Andrews about publishing her mother’s final work of fiction, and about her mother’s impact as a trailblazing writer.

The Fetishist was published by G.P. Putnam’s Sons.
