Kim Fu's novel For Today I Am a Boy (2014) was a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award, a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice and winner of the Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction. Fu's writing has been widely published and anthologized, including by The Atlantic, NPR, Maisonneuve and Best Canadian Essays. Fu is a graduate of the University of British Columbia with an MFA in Creative Writing. She lives in Seattle, WA.
Fu’s playful, lyrical, and cutting, debut poetry collection is a
dizzying display of styles and scope. Its voice is both consistent
and utterly brilliant ... Fu’s work engages contrariness of
spirit in tragicomic terms, and her meditations on violence, family
connection, sexual connection, and death in its myriad forms and
connotations—the latter alone moving from literal to metaphorical
to sexual with conjurer’s ease—are exquisite to behold. The book is
eminently quotable and shockingly accomplished."
