DORETTA LAU started watching horror movies at age nine and sketch comedy at eleven, which was probably why she ended up completing an MFA in Writing at Columbia University. She spent her days in New York working in children’s publishing and her nights watching musicians work out their inner demons. As a journalist in Hong Kong, she wrote about arts and culture for Artforum, Wall Street Journal Asia, and South China Morning Post. The Atlantic named her short story collection, How Does a Single Blade of Grass Thank the Sun?, as a best book of 2014. The title story was shortlisted for the 2013 Writers’ Trust McClelland & Stewart Journey Prize. She is currently developing projects for film and television. We Are Underlings is her first novel.
