Olga Zilberbourg’s English-language debut Like Water and Other Stories (WTAW Press) explores “bicultural identity hilariously, poignantly,” according to The Moscow Times. It also deals with bisexuality and immigrant parenthood. Zilberbourg’s writing has appeared in Narrative Magazine, World Literature Today, Confrontation, Electric Literature, Lit Hub, Alaska Quarterly Review, and elsewhere. Born in Leningrad, USSR, in a Russian-speaking Jewish family, she makes her home in San Francisco, California where she co-facilitates the San Francisco Writers Workshop. Together with Yelena Furman, she has co-founded Punctured Lines, a feminist blog about literatures from the former Soviet Union. She is currently at work on her first novel.
