Angie Kang is a Chinese American illustrator and writer whose work has appeared in Narrative, Catapult, The Believer, The Rumpus, Ecotone, and elsewhere. She has received support from Tin House, the Napa Valley Writers’ Conference, VONA/Voices, and the Sundress Academy of Arts. She was shortlisted for the Cartoonist Studio Prize in 2023 and her debut children's book, Our Lake, will be published with Kokila in March 2025.
At MacDowell, Kang worked on the script for a hybrid graphic/prose novel about 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.
