Kat Chow is an American writer and journalist whose work focuses on race, identity, and culture. Before publishing her first book, she was a reporter for NPR’s Code Switch team, where she covered stories about how race and ethnicity affect everyday life in America.
Her memoir, Seeing Ghosts (2021), grew out of years spent grappling with the death of her mother from cancer. The book moves between Chow’s own memories and the broader history of her family, including her parents’ immigration from Hong Kong and China. It is a frank and personal account of what it means to carry grief across generations and cultures.
