DISORIENTATION by Elaine Hsieh Chou was so wicked and funny -- it made me laugh out loud multiple times. A whip smart satire of academia and race in America, with a surprisingly touching conclusion. And I love the stylish cover by Melissa Four!

PEOPLE COLLIDE is out today!!! Here’s a photo of the novel resting on the notebooks where I wrote the first draft. Also a pic of first draft page 1 and final page 1. Thank you to everyone who’s helped bring this book into the world!!!

The WGA and AMPTP have reached a tentative agreement. This was made possible by the enduring solidarity of WGA members and extraordinary support of our union siblings who stood with us for over 146 days. More details coming after contract language is finalized. #WGAstrike

I'm so thrilled to be a part of the Tin House 2024 Winter Workshop faculty!!! Tin House was where I workshopped an early version of Disorientation with the inimitable Alexander Chee and where I met so many dear friends 💖

Applications close on Sept. 20!

very interesting how many prominent white writers have gone by asian pen names for many years, often facing no consequences. akira yoshida (c.b. cebulski), david wong (jason pargin), yi-fen chou (michael derrick hudson), the list goes on

Currently reading Disorientation by Elaine Hsieh Chou as someone who’s been searching for a novel she’ll *truly* enjoy for the last 5 years and mostly failing at it—and I am loving every page of it!!
