Brian Truong is a Vietnamese-American writer, who has received fellowships and support from Yaddo, Ucross, Millay Arts, Periplus Collective, Tin House Summer Workshop, and the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference. He won the 2023 Georgia Review Prose Prize, and his work is published and forthcoming in Ecotone, Gulf Coast, The Rumpus, and The Chicago Review of Books.

The Rumpus publishes original fiction, poetry, literary humor writing, comics, essays, book reviews, and interviews with authors and artists of all kinds. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers our readers may already know and love. We want to bring new perspectives into the conversation that will make us all look deeper.

We believe that literature builds community—and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please show your support! Get your Rumpus merch in our online store.
