About the Author/作者介绍： 杰姆斯出世在芝加哥，5岁时和家人搬到路易斯维尔。她说她在路易斯维尔东区的郊区”与世隔绝“的长大，当她试图去附庸风雅，去接近高地的波西米亚邻居时，她从未适应过。尽管很早就被写作吸引，但追求写作作为职业的想法占据杰姆斯的大脑前仍花了一段时间。当她是肯塔基州的一所全日制学校的学生时，她在肯塔基州艺术学校的生活种下了这粒种子。她承认，她想成为该计划的一部分的原因是她认为这会对自己的履历有利。但当她被介绍给非洲裔作家，如著名的诗人弗朗克•X•沃克尔时，她的想法改变了。从肯塔基国家大学毕业后，杰姆斯在哈佛大学继续学习电影，却从未丢弃写小说的想法。她最终会去哥伦比亚大学攻读写作的艺术。
Born in Chicago, James moved to Louisville with her family when she was 5. She said she lived an ’insular’ life growing up in Louisville’s East End suburbs, never really fitting in when she tried to hang out in arty, bohemian neighborhoods like the Highlands. Despite being drawn to writing early on, it would be a while before the thought of pursuing writing as a career would cross James’ mind. The seed was planted during her days at the Kentucky Governor’s School for the Arts when she was a student at Kentucky Country Day School. She confessed that the reason she wanted to be part of the program was because she figured it would look good on her resume. But that changed when she was introduced to African-American writers like the noted poet Frank X Walker. After graduating from Kentucky Country Day, James went on to study filmmaking at Harvard University but never lost her itch to write fiction. She would eventually go to Columbia University for a master’s of fine arts in writing.
