ⓘ About Jade Chang

Jade Chang is an American author that has made a name for herself with her debut novel, The Wangs vs. the World, an exposition of the stereotype surrounding the immigrant experience. After working on it for over eight years, the novel was released in October of 2016 to rave reviews and critical acclaim. Its unconventional, humorous, and no punches pulled approach to the perception of the Asian American immigrant provided a lot of food for thought. An avid reader Chang asserts that she has such a great love of books that she just does not have one favorite author, book, or even genre. Given her love for books, it is not surprising that has been heavily involved in a variety of literary pursuits, the most prominent of which was as a Goodreads editor.
