Patty Yumi Cottrell

Patty Yumi Cottrell was born in South Korea. Ed Park describes her novel, Sorry To Disturb the Peace, as “a sort of Korean-American noir, lean and wry and darkly compelling,” and Danielle Dutton calls it “a beguiling debut: absurdly funny, surprisingly beautiful, and ultimately sad….” Cottrell’s work has appeared in BOMB, Gulf Coast, and Black Warrior Review. She lives in New York.
