YZ Chin is coming to Unbound!

We are thrilled to welcome author and translator YZ Chin to this year’s festival!

YZ’s debut novel, Edge Case, is a searing meditation on intimacy, estrangement, and the fractured nature of identity. YZ will be participating in our panel on work and technology - the New York Times describes her poignant and darkly funny book as a “subtly provocative depiction of the tech industry, and this country, as tilting ever more off-kilter.”
