Reading with Gina Chung: Visiting Writer in Fiction

Gina Chung is a Korean American writer from New Jersey currently living in New York City. She is the author of the novel Sea Change, which was longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize and a B&N Discover Pick, and the short story collection Green Frog, which was a Good Morning America Book Buzz Pick, an NPR Best Book of the Year, and longlisted for the New American Voices Award. She has received the O. Henry Prize for Short Fiction, a Pushcart Prize, two APALA Adult Fiction Honors, and a Center for Fiction / Susan Kamil Emerging Writer Fellowship. She is a faculty member of the Solstice MFA in Creative Writing Program at Lasell University.

Green Frog is a short story collection that explores Korean American womanhood, bodies, animals, and transformation as a means of survival. ​Equal parts fantastical and true to life, the stories in this collection are hopeful and heartbreaking, full of danger and full of joy.
