Randa Jarrar was born in 1978 in Chicago to an Egyptian-Greek mother and Palestinian father. She grew up in Kuwait and Egypt. After the Gulf War in 1991, her family moved back to the US, living in New York City when she was 13. Jarrar studied creative writing at Sarah Lawrence College, received MA in Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Texas at Austin, and MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Michigan. She has taught College Writing, Creative Writing, and Arab-American literature. Randa Jarrar is the fiction and online editor for literary journal The Normal School, and spends her days teaching creative writing to both graduates and undergraduates. “It’s a majority minority school,” she describes. “Many of my undergraduates are brown: Latinos, Asian Americans, Muslim Americans. They're first generation college students. Or they're children of migrant workers. Or they work full time, and parent.”
