Angie Kang is a Chinese American illustrator and writer whose work has appeared in Narrative, Catapult, The Believer, The Rumpus, Ecotone, and elsewhere, and she has received support from Tin House, the Napa Valley Writers’ Conference, VONA/Voices, and the Sundress Academy of Arts. Her debut picture book Our Lake is forthcoming from Kokila, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
She is currently developing a hybrid novel about generations of twins. It is a linked short-story collection about three generations of a Chinese family: the first two generations, in prose, follow twin sisters, and the third generation, in sequential art, features an only son. As families with twins have an increased genetic likelihood of having more twins, twinhood becomes a means to explore inherited trauma.
