She is the daughter of seamstress and a laborer, who immigrated from Guangzhou, China.[1] She attended the University of California-Berkeley, and received her M.F.A. at Columbia University. Ng has supported herself by working as a waitress and at other temporary jobs.[2]
Her short stories have appeared in the American Voice, Calys, City Lights Review, Crescent Review, Harper's.[3] She currently lives in New York City.
In Steer Toward Rock, Ng takes her time, says what she truly means to say, stares complication straight in the face, stares it down. One feels her attacking this fiction-writing business as if it's the most important chance any of us will ever get to put the truth on paper, and one is left—it can't be helped—in awe of her talent.[5]
