Eugenia Kim

Eugenia Kim’s second novel, The Kinship of Secrets, was a November 2018 LibraryReads pick and is based in part on her family history. Her debut novel, The Calligrapher’s Daughter, won the 2009 Borders Original Voices Award, was shortlisted for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and was named a Critics’ Pick and Best Book of 2009 by The Washington Post.

The daughter of Korean immigrant parents who came to America shortly after the Pacific War, Kim was born in White Plains, NY. She writes about the effects of war, migration and separation on immigrant families, in the tradition of Min Jin Lee and Viet Thanh Nguyen. Eugenia Kim teaches in Fairfield University’s MFA Creative Writing Program and lives in Washington, DC.
