He is a William C. Morris Award finalist and an Asian/Pacific American Award for Young Adult Literature honor recipient.

In the end-of-the-world story City of Orange, a man wakes up in an unknown landscape, injured and alone. He used to live in a place called California. How did he wind up here with a head wound and a bottle of pills in his pocket? He navigates his surroundings. Here lies a pipe, and here is a reed that could be carved into a weapon. He could swear his daughter’s name began with a “J,” but what was it, exactly? Then he encounters an old man, a crow, and a boy, and realizes that nothing is what he thought it was, neither the present nor the past. He can’t even recall the features of his own face and wonders: Who am I?
