Vendela Vida

Vendela Vida

".

Based on her Columbia thesis, 2000's "Girls on the Verge" examines modern coming-of-age rituals for young women, including gang initiations and sorority rushes (for the latter, she impersonated a prospective sorority sister).

Published in 2003, "And Now You Can Go" is a novel set in New York, San Francisco, and the Philippines, tracing the impulsive journeys of a young woman in the wake of an assault. In a "Guardian" article Vida voices her plan to author a trilogy of novels "on the subject of violence and rage." The second novel "Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name" takes place in Lapland and was published in 2007.

She and Eggers are the parents of a daughter, October Adelaide Eggers Vida, born in October 2005. With Eggers, she is a co-founder and board member of 826 Valencia, a nonprofit organization that teaches creative writing to children and teens.
