My Take

Diane Wei Liang's trajectory fascinates me more than any single book could. Born in Beijing, trained as an economist at Carnegie Mellon, then reinvented in London as a novelist, she carries two homelands and two languages in her sentences. I suspect that outsider's double vision gives her prose an unusually sharp eye, the kind only someone who has truly left and looked back can possess. Writers who cross from the rigor of numbers into the ambiguity of fiction interest me deeply, because they bring structure to feeling. Quiet but clearly principled, she is the sort of author I want to discover slowly.
