Esther Yi
About the Author
Esther Yi is a Korean-American writer whose debut novel, Y/N, has captivated readers with its incisive exploration of identity, desire, and the intoxicating pull of K-pop fandom. Born in Seoul and raised in the United States, Yi draws from her bilingual heritage to craft narratives that bridge cultural divides and delve into the complexities of modern womanhood. Her work has appeared in prestigious outlets such as Granta, The Atlantic, and Freeman's, where she examines themes of longing, displacement, and self-discovery with a keen, unflinching eye. A former journalist and translator, Yi now lives in Berlin, where she continues to write about the intersections of art, obsession, and belonging in an increasingly globalized world.
