Yifan Li
The School of Creative Writing is pleased to congratulate Yifan Li, MFA. Yifan’s thesis is a novel entitled Tumbleweed.
Yifan Li (he/him) is a queer writer and theatre artist. He holds a BA in Theatre Studies from Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris and an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia. His work explores queer Asian diasporic life and cultural resistance. His fiction has appeared in The Passengers Journal, Ricepaper Magazine, and elsewhere.
Ming is a queer from China who leaves his homeland for France, hoping to find a place of belonging. Haunted by the shadow of family expectations and a political past he can’t outrun, he is forced to confront what kind of life he truly wants. Through moments of solitude, tenderness, and memory, Tumbleweed paints an intimate portrait of exile and queer longing; a quiet, uncertain search for freedom and self in unfamiliar places.
