Books in Order: Kevin Kwan’s Journey Through Fiction
An engaging insight into the unique writing style and journey of Singaporean-American author, Kevin Kwan, begins with his early life and education. Born and bred in Singapore, he attended an Anglo-Chinese school. Eventually, he moved to the United States when he was 11, carrying with him a dream of living in New York. His passion for writing led him to earn a degree in creative writing from the University of Houston. Subsequently, he moved to Manhattan to pursue his BFA in Photography. His transitions from a student to a creative professional working for magazines, and then to running his own creative studio with an impressive clientele including Ted.com, the Museum of Modern Art and The New York Times, are praiseworthy.
