Break out the beach blanket and umbrella because we have THE summer author for you. There is always a STAR author or book in the summer months...and GBH is telling you to look no further!
Kirstin Chen is the award-winning, best-selling author of three novels. Her latest, Counterfeit, has been recommended by Entertainment Weekly, Vogue, Time, Oprah Daily, Haper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Parade, and more. Television rights have been optioned by Sony Pictures.
‘Delicious, page-turning’ Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians
‘Engrossing’ Celeste Ng, author of Little Fires Everywhere
Her previous two novels are Bury What We Cannot Take and Soy Sauce for Beginners.
Chen will keep you on the edge of your seat as she weaves you into her addictive tales. As the waves brush against your feet while you read through her pieces of work, make sure you do not get swept away into the engrossing worlds Chen has created.
Chen holds an MFA from Emerson College and a BA from Stanford University. Born and raised in Singapore, she lives in San Francisco. She teaches creative writing at the University of San Francisco and in Ashland University’s Low-Residency MFA Program.
