'Flawless: Lessons in Looks and
Culture from the K-Beauty Capital'
a talk with Elise Hu

May 16, 2023
5:00 p.m. PDT/8:00 p.m. EDT

In her debut non-fiction book, Flawless: Lessons in Looks and Culture from the K-Beauty Capital, Elise Hu takes the business of appearances seriously — exploring the way performing beauty is built into our political system, our economic system, our labor system, our media (especially social media), and ourselves. It asks, where do we draw the line on physical improvement, when a technological gaze makes it so promising, and possible?

Ms. Hu is a Los-Angeles based journalist, podcast host and entrepreneur who spent nearly a decade at NPR, as a regular voice on flagship shows All Things Considered and Morning Edition. Find her online at elisehu.com, on Twitter and Instagram @elisewho, and on TikTok @whoelise.
