About the Author
Ruth Ozeki is an award-winning author, filmmaker, and Zen Buddhist priest whose work explores the intersections of identity, technology, and the natural world with profound insight and compassion. Born in Connecticut to a Japanese mother and American father, she spent her childhood navigating cultural dualities, which deeply inform her narratives. Ozeki holds a degree in English literature from Smith College and has directed numerous documentaries before turning to fiction. Her debut novel, All Over Creation, addressed biotechnology and family legacies, while her acclaimed A Tale for the Time Being weaves quantum physics, punk rock, and Japanese history into a poignant tale of connection across time and space. A resident of British Columbia, Ozeki continues to blend memoir, philosophy, and storytelling in her multifaceted career.
