Tinling Choong
Born in Malaysia, Tinling Choong lives in Randolph, Vermont, and is a graduate student in Chinese literature at Yale. Her story in this issue is an excerpt from her small and forever-in-progress first novel. Creative ideas come to her easily when she is driving or standing in the shower. The problem is, neither occasion is a good time to write anything down.
