Muriel Leung
Muriel Leung writes at the intersection of intimacy and catastrophe, crafting prose that finds tenderness in moments of uncertainty and collapse. Her work explores desire, identity, and connection with unflinching honesty, refusing easy answers while maintaining a deep compassion for her characters’ contradictions. Leung’s literary voice is distinctly her own—lyrical yet grounded, capable of shifting between moments of devastating vulnerability and dark humor that defuses emotional intensity without diminishing it.
Her 2025 Lambda Literary Award win for Bisexual Literature recognizes How To Fall in Love in a Time of Unnameable Disaster as a significant contribution to queer literature. The award validates Leung’s particular gift for rendering bisexual experience with specificity and nuance, capturing the complexity of desire and belonging that resists simple categorization. Through this collection, Leung demonstrates why her work resonates across the literary landscape—she writes about universal human experiences through the distinct lens of queer identity, making space for stories that might otherwise go untold.
