ⓘ About Jamie Ford
Jamie Ford is an American author of fiction. He is the great-grandson of Min Chung, a mining pioneer in Nevada who emigrated in 1865 to San Francisco from China. There he adopted the name of Ford to be more western, and endless generations were confused and confused others as a result of this choice. (His grandfather wanted to be modern and blend in and become a part of American culture, something countless other immigrants did at the time as well). His first novel was a New York Times bestseller and also was awarded the Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature in 2010. The book has since been translated into multiple languages for readers to enjoy around the world. Ford grew up near Chinatown in Seattle and currently resides in Montana along with his wife and children.
