I am a writer from San Jose, California.
My debut novel, A Map for the Missing, is forthcoming from Penguin Press in August of 2022.
Most recently, I was a Truman Capote Fellow at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Before that, I lived in Beijing and studied at Peking University for two years. In college I thought I would be an economist.
My writing has received the Michener Copernicus Award and a Bread Loaf Work-Study Scholarship.
Currently, I live in Los Angeles.
