This catalog entry is attached to works by other prose authors (Sayaka Murata's Convenience Store Woman, JY Yang's The Black Tides of Heaven), but Nancy Wu herself is not their author — she is the American audiobook narrator of these editions. Raised in West Virginia and now based in Boulder, Colorado, she has narrated more than 250 titles, specializing in translated Asian literature and speculative fiction, and is a multiple Audie and SOVAS Award finalist.
