Gabrielle zevin net worth

Literature provides a way to explore and celebrate what makes us unique. Gabrielle Zevin ’00, author and former Leverett House resident, uses her work to deftly navigate the mysterious topic of identity.

Zevin deeply understands the role that individual identity and childhood influence play in defining a person’s outlook.

The idea of embracing one’s inherent identity is especially apparent in Zevin’s latest New York Times best-selling novel, “Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.” In an interview with The Harvard Crimson, Zevin commented on how identity shaped both the origins of her writing and the characters in the novel.

“The fact that I am, like Sam in the book, half Jewish and half Korean, and I always lived in places where there weren't a lot of people like me, I think there's an extent to which that sets you as an outsider among other people, which probably puts you in a sort of a writerly mode just from from the jump,” she said.
