Kevin Kwan
Kevin Kwan is a Singaporean American novelist whose satirical fiction explores wealth, class, and Asian elite society. He is best known for Crazy Rich Asians and its sequels China Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Problems, along with Sex and Vanity. Crazy Rich Asians became an international bestseller and a 2018 film adaptation.
传记与作者历程
Kevin Kwan was born in Singapore and spent his first eleven years there before his family moved to suburban Houston, a change he has described as disorienting but formative. In Texas he pursued writing-centered study at the University of Houston, then moved to New York for Parsons, where training in design and photography sharpened the visual intelligence that would later mark his fiction: the attention to surfaces, rooms, clothes, objects, and status signals. Before turning fully to novels, he worked in magazines and design and later became a creative consultant for clients that included The New York Times, the Museum of Modern Art, Rockwell Group, Elizabeth Taylor Jewelry, Oprah Winfrey, and TED. A major turning point came in 2009, when, during his father’s illness, he began writing stories that preserved memories of Singapore and of a social world he felt had rarely been rendered in contemporary fiction.
