Biography
Lisa See (Lisa See Kendall) was born in 1955 in Paris, France. She is best known for her historical fiction novels about the
friendships and romances of Chinese women and Asian American women. She is also known for her memoir of the history of her
family in the United States, On Gold Mountain, inspired by many hours she spent as a young girl with her paternal grandparents
in Los Angeles' Chinatown.
See received her Bachelor of Arts from Loyola Marymount University in 1979 when she began her ongoing work as a freelance
journalist. From 1983 to 1996 she was the West Coast correspondent for Publishers Weekly. From 1983 to 1990 she collaborated
on books with her mother Carolyn See and John Espey, collectively using the pseudonym Monica Highland. These books were Lotus
Land (1983), 110 Shanghai Road (1986), and Greetings from Southern California (1986).
In 1995, St. Martin's Press published the nonfiction account of See's family, On Gold Mountain: the one-hundred-year odyssey
of my Chinese-American family, a New York Times Notable Book of 1995. In 1996, On Gold Mountain was republished by Vintage.
In 2000, See's opera libretto based on On Gold Mountain was the Los Angeles Opera's Voices of California inaugural production
and premiered at the Japan American Theatre followed by the Irvine Barclay Theatre. She also curated several exhibits inspired
by On Gold Mountain. She served as guest curator for an exhibit on the Chinese American experience for the Autry National
Center (then the Autry Museum of Western Heritage), which also traveled to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
in 2001. See then helped develop and curate the Family Discovery Gallery at the Autry Museum, an interactive space for children
and their families that focused on her biracial, bicultural family as seen through the eyes of her father as a seven-year-old
boy living in 1930s Los Angeles. See revisited museum work in 2003 when she curated a retrospective on Tyrus Wong that was
the inaugural exhibit for the Chinese American Museum.
In 1997 See began publishing the Red Princess Mysteries thriller series, which includes Flower Net (1997), The Interior (1999),
and Dragon Bones (2003). Flower Net was a national bestseller, on the Los Angeles Times Best Books List for 1997, a New York
Times Notable Book, and nominated for an Edgar award for best first novel. In 2003 she also wrote the Angels Walk LA Chinatown
guidebook to celebrate the opening of the Metro Rail Gold Line Chinatown station.
Her first solo foray into historical fiction, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan (2005), became a New York Times bestseller and
won numerous awards domestically and internationally. Her books to follow have all been bestselling historical fiction novels
focusing on the friendships and romances of Chinese women and Asian American women. These include Peony in Love (2007), Shanghai
Girls (2009), Dreams of Joy (2011), and China Dolls (2014).
In addition to her work as a writer, in 1993 See began serving on the Board of Trustees for the University of California Press
and is now a trustee emerita. She also served on the Board of Trustees for the Pacific Asia Museum from 2001 to 2002. See
currently serves as a Los Angeles City Commissioner on the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Monument Authority. More information on
Lisa See can be found on her website at www.lisasee.com.
