Esme Weijun Wang is an American author and essayist whose work explores mental illness, identity, and the immigrant experience with unflinching honesty. Her debut novel The Border of Paradise examines the psychological unraveling of a Chinese-American family, while her acclaimed essay collection The Collected Schizophrenias weaves together personal narrative, medical history, and cultural criticism to redefine what it means to live with schizophrenia. A Whiting Award recipient and Granta's selection as one of the best young American novelists of her generation, Wang writes with lyrical precision about the interior lives of those often marginalized or misunderstood.
