About

I am the author of the novels Nebraska (Astra House, 2026) and Thieving Sun (Astra House 2024), as well as a visiting associate professor at Pratt Institute at which I teach in the Core Humanities and Architecture Writing programs. Earlier I received degrees in architecture and urbanism from the City University of New York, the London School of Economics and the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL) as well as an MFA in Creative Writing from Washington University in St. Louis from which I received a Divided City/Mellon Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. My writings have been published in The Believer, Blackbird, The Collagist/The Rupture, The Evergreen: A New Season in the North, The New Inquiry and several times in Conjunctions. I have received funding and fellowships from OPERA America, Kundiman, The Faber Arts, Sciences and Humanities Residency of Catalonia, the Kimmel Harding Center for the Arts, Sewanee Writers' Conference and The Fine Arts Work Center. My short story collection, Methods of Apparition (from which Thieving Sun was extracted) was a finalist in the 2022 Black Lawrence Press Hudson Prize competition.
