The daughter of a Korean immigrant father and a Russian-Jewish mother,
Susan Choi was born in Indiana and raised in Texas. Her father's stories of
life in Korea and of his experiences as a newly arrived immigrant in the
American South would later inspire her own stories and her first novel. She
attended Yale, where she was a literature major, and went on to earn her
M.F.A. in fiction at Cornell University. She now lives in New York City, where
she has worked on the staff of The New Yorker. Choi's short fiction has
appeared in Epoch, Documents, The Iowa Review, and Writing Away Here:
A Korean-American Anthology. The Foreign Student, her first novel, was
chosen by Richard Eder of the Los Angeles Times as one of the Top Ten
Books of 1998, and it won the Steven Turner Award for a First Book of
Fiction.
