Kwan, Susanna

Entry updated 23 February 2026. Tagged: Author.

(? – ) US author whose first novel, the Near-Future Awake in the Floating City (2025), is partly sent in a flooded, Climate-Change-ridden San Francisco (see California), as seen primarily through a narrative emphasizing, without melodramatics, the art of surviving humanely in the new circumstances of the world.

Susanna Kwan should not be confused with the singer/actress Susanna Kwan (1958- ). [JC]
