{{short description|American novelist}}

R. O. Kwon is an American author who was born in South Korea. In 2018, she published her nationally bestselling[1] debut novel The Incendiaries with Riverhead Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House.

Early life

Kwon was born in Seoul, South Korea, and moved to L.A. with her family when she was three.[2] She was raised in a Christian household but at the age of 17 experienced a crisis of faith and stopped believing in God.

She attended Yale University.[3]

Career

Kwon's work has appeared in publications including The New York Times,[4] The Guardian,[5] The Paris Review,[6] BuzzFeed,[7] Vice,[8] New York Magazine's The Cut,[9] and elsewhere. She has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts,[10] Yaddo,[11] and MacDowell.[12]

In 2018, Kwon published her debut novel,The Incendiaries, about a woman who becomes involved with a cult of extremist Christians. The novel was inspired by Kwon's own loss of faith in God, and it took her 10 years to finish.[13][14][15] The Incendiaries was named a best book of the year by over 40 publications and organizations,[16][17] including the Today Show, NPR, BuzzFeed, The Atlantic, PBS Books, Entertainment Weekly, Vulture, and elsewhere. Before the book's release, Kwon was called one of "4 writers to watch" by The New York Times.[18] The Incendiaries is an American Booksellers Association Indie Next #1 Great Read[19] and an American Booksellers Association Indies Introduce Pick.[20] The novel is a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle John Leonard Award for Best First Book,[21] Los Angeles Times First Book Prize,[22] and Northern California Independent Booksellers Association Fiction Prize.[23] In addition, the book has been nominated for the American Library Association Carnegie Medal[24] and Aspen Prize.[25]
