edit data

Eddy Boudel Tan is the author of two novels: After Elias, a finalist for the ReLit Awards and the Edmund White Award, and The Rebellious Tide, a finalist for the Ferro-Grumley Award. In 2021, he was named a Rising Star by the Writers’ Trust of Canada. He writes stories that depict a world much like our own—the heroes are flawed, truth is distorted, and there is as much hope as there is heartbreak. His short stories can be found in Joyland, Yolk, Gertrude Press, and The G&LR, as well as two forthcoming anthologies. He lives in Vancouver with his husband.
