Mitsu Sundvall's bio for Kenmore Reading Series, Dec. 21st
Mitsu Akiyama Sundvall is a Japanese-American writer wannabee from Berkeley, New York City, and Seattle. She is an Artist Trust and Seattle Arts Commission awardee, former Harper & Row editor, Seattle Times book reviewer, Hedgebrook and Edge writer programs alumna. "Tongue-Cut Sparrows" is the family memoir she has been laboring to tell about a shotgun/samurai, an anarchist plotting to assassinate the emperor, a judo-wrestling grandmother, a Chinatown chorus girl, a genius heroin addict, and an American family in a US concentration camp. In these stories of struggle and aspiration she hopes, as Grace Paley said about writing memoir, to save a few lives.
