Writer, Speaker, Traveler.

Born on a summer evening in Andalusia to an American father and a Tibetan mother, I lived in Spain and Darjeeling, then moved to the States at age three. My fiction, essays, and interviews have been published by The New Yorker, The Paris Review, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Catapult, Guernica, Tin House, AGNI, and Granta, among others, and I’m a contributing editor at Tricycle. My writing also appears in The Penguin Book of Modern Tibetan Essays, Wanting: Women Writing About Desire (Catapult), Women in Clothes (Riverhead), and American Dragons (HarperCollins), and has been listed in The Best American Essays; a translation of fiction by Reinaldo Arenas was published in Old Rosa (Grove). Traveling in Bardo, my book about the art of living in an impermanent world, will be published by Grand Central, an imprint of Hachette, in September 2025.
