Carol Emshwiller grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and in France. She has written six novels and five short story collections. She has won major prizes including a National Endowment for the arts grant and two New York State Foundation for the Arts grants, the Phillip K. Dick grant, two Nebulas, a World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award, and ICON’s Gallun Award.

Ursula K. LeGuin has called her “a major fabulist, a marvelous magical realist, one of the strongest, most complex, most consistently feminist, voices in fiction.”

Among her novels are Carmen Dog, The Mount, and, most recently, The Secret City. Her most recent short story collection is I Live With You. She has also published two westerns, Ledoyt and Leaping Man Hill. Her stories have appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy& Science Fiction, Asimov’s, Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet, TriQuarterly, Transatlantic Review, The Voice Literary Supplement, and many others.

She is the widow of the artist and experimental filmmaker, Ed Emshwiller (Emsh).

She lives in New York City in the winter, (where she has retired from teaching fiction at New York University though she still has a private class,) and in the Sierras in the summer. But, she says, not for much longer. She’s getting too old for it. You have to be able to drive, also what’s the sense if you can’t climb mountains anymore?
