Jennifer Marquardt was raised by wolves in Ludington, Michigan in the United States. She became a founding faculty member of Wenzhou Kean University in 2012, where she had the distinction of being “the feminist” for some time.

Hobbies include eating vegetarian street food, cycling or hiking nearby Daloushan, and kayaking the waterways of Wenzhou, preferably with friends. And always with her dog Eddie.

Favorite writers are Grace Paley, Italo Calvino, Norman Rush, and, of course, all the Barthelmes.
