*POSTPONED* Esmé Weijun Wang reads at PSU
[The Creative Writing Program has had to postpone the much-anticipated reading by Esmé Weijun Wang, originally scheduled for this Thursday, January 16. We look forward to her visiting Portland State later in 2020.]
Esmé Weijun Wang is a novelist and essayist. She is the author of the New York Times–bestselling essay collection The Collected Schizophrenias (2019), for which she won the Graywolf Nonfiction Prize. Her debut novel, The Border of Paradise, was called a Best Book of 2016 by NPR. She was named by Granta as one of the “Best Young American Novelists” in 2017 and won the Whiting Award in 2018. Born in the Midwest to Taiwanese parents, she lives in San Francisco.
