Eddy Boudel Tan

EDDY BOUDEL TAN writes stories that depict a world much like our own—the heroes are flawed, truth is distorted, and there's as much hope as there is heartbreak. His latest novel The Tiger and the Cosmonaut is slated for release in 2025 from Penguin Canada. His novels After Elias and The Rebellious Tide have been finalists for the Edmund White Award, the ReLit Best Novel Award, and the Ferro-Grumley Award. He was named a Rising Star by Writers’ Trust of Canada in 2021. His short stories can be found in Joyland, Yolk, and various literary journals and anthologies. He lives in Vancouver with his husband.
