Stories and excerpts have appeared in the New Yorker, The Atlantic, Granta, Virginia Quarterly Review, and Vice, and she has received a number of awards and fellowships, including a Whiting Award, the Kirkus Prize, the NYPL Young Lions Fiction Award, the VCU Cabell First Novelist Award, and an NEA fellowship.
