About Sarah Murphy

Sarah Murphy is of mixed Choctaw, English, Irish and Hispanic heritage. A translator, interpretor, visual artist, social activist, teacher and author of five books, she was born and raised in New York City, and lived in Mexico before making her home in Canada in 1973. Throughout her life she has worked with movements for social justice, and victims of torture and political violence as well as other forms of abuse, and these are often the issues that she explores in her work as a writer and visual artist. Her fiction is strongly autobiographical, exploring the strange alienated view children have of the adult world, and revealing the violent, absurd and comical aspects of growing up working class in New York City.
