Born October 24: Emma Donoghue, B.D. Wong

Who works harder than Emma Donoghue? This month she's debuted a new play about New Yorker writer Maeve Brennan and a new collection of short stories called Astray [Kindle]. Two years ago she wrote the blockbuster Room [Kindle] -- shortlisted for the Booker, the Orange Prize, the Governor General's Award, the Galaxy International prize; winner of the Rogers Writers' Trust prize -- and last week she revealed her remarkably sane reaction to all the fuss. Four months before Room, Knopf published her essential and immensely entertaining, decade-in-the-making exploration of lesbians in literature, Inseparable [Kindle]. In six previous novels she proved herself equally at home in the present (Stir-Fry, Hood, Landing) and the past (Slammerkin, Life Mask, The Sealed Letter). She has also written four collections of stories, five plays, and five radio plays. She lives with her partner Chris and their children, Una and Finn, in Ontario.

A fourth generation Chinese-American, B.D. Wong made his Broadway debut in 1988 in M. Butterfly, for which he became and remains the only actor to win the five major theater prizes for the same role. But it was not enough to convince David Cronenberg to cast him in the movie version five years later, when he chose John Lone instead. Wong starred with Margaret Cho in her much praised, quickly canceled series All American Girl, then played a priest on Oz, and for ten years running Dr George Huang on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. He and his ex-partner Richie Jackson, an agent, are parents of a son named Foo, the surviving child of twins born extremely prematurely. Wong wrote a book about the experience called Following Foo.
