Bonnie Chau was born and raised in Orange County, California. She studied art history and English literature at UCLA and later earned an MFA in fiction and literary translation from Columbia University.
Her debut collection, All Roads Lead to Blood (2018), won the 2040 Books Prize. The sixteen stories follow young women navigating questions of love, heritage, and identity as second-generation Chinese-Americans. Set in locations ranging from Southern California to New York to Paris, the stories are marked by their sharp imagery and willingness to move between realism and the surreal.
