As a writer, Yann Tyng gets to inform, inspire, entertain, comfort or intrigue people, evoke emotions and ultimately, help people find common grounds for understanding and empathy. Telling stories is a way of making an emotional connection with someone one may not even know. As humans, we all need and crave connection and language is a way to nurture that connection.
