August Zhou was born in Singapore and has spent a considerable portion of his life living in between cultures and languages. He obtained his undergraduate education at Columbia University and a master's in education for Secondary English at Peabody College, Vanderbilt University. He is a writer not by training but by compulsion. His overdeveloped sense of nostalgia and his constant desire to see more of the world stand at odds with each other, though both are ways of visiting a foreign country.
