A photography series in collaboration with Abacus Row, featuring Rachel Khong. In this collection, we explore the beauty and intrigue of the places we call home. From wandering around to embracing being welcomed, we capture the essence of the neighborhood.

I’m a writer living in San Francisco. My debut novel, Goodbye, Vitamin, won the 2017 California Book Award for First Fiction, and was a Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist for First Fiction. From 2011 to 2016, I was the managing editor then executive editor of Lucky Peach magazine. With Lucky Peach, I also edited a cookbook about eggs, called All About Eggs. In 2018, I founded The Ruby, a work and event space for women and nonbinary writers and artists in San Francisco’s Mission district; I retired at the end of 2021. I’m currently at work on a novel, called Real Americans, and will squirm if you ask about it. It’s fine, it’s all going fine!
