the smart set

Author: Amanda Jaffe

After years of practicing law between travel adventures, Amanda Jaffe took the expat plunge at the end of 2018 and moved to Singapore, where she began writing. Now back in the United States, she focuses on narratives that convey a strong sense of location and dislocation. Her work has been published in several magazines and online journals, including PASSAGE (the magazine of Friends of the Museums Singapore), The American Interest, Wanderlust and Anak Sastra.
