ⓘ About Elaine Hsieh Chou
Elaine Hsieh Chou is a California-based Taiwanese American author who is best known for her debut novel “Disorientation.” She was a Graduate Fellow at New York University and an NYFA/NYSCA Fellow in 2021 and her short fiction has been featured in “Ploughshares,” “The Normal School,” “Tin House Online,” “Guernica,” and “Black Warrior Review.” Growing up, “The Joy Luck Club,” which Elain Chou read in high school in California was her only exposure to Asian American literature. She can still remember how her classmates used to look at her, somehow expecting that she would confirm how the work depicted Asian Americans. She found it odd given that she came from a very different generation from any of the characters in the novel written in the late 1980s.
