ⓘ About Arkady Martine
Author Arkady Martine grew up in New York City and spent some time in Canada, Turkey, and Sweden. She went five years without having a fixed address, and grew to like it after a while. During this time in her life, she lived in seven cities in four countries, and she was a non-tenured research-focused academic. New York City is a place that she has always been madly in love with, and for her, the jagged clutch of steel and light is home for her. She wrote her PhD dissertation about this very thing, although she did not realize it at the time. It was about Byzantine diplomats who lived on the frontier and would write letters back home to their colleagues and friends in Constantinople.
