Eduardo Mestre

Eduardo Mestre grew up in Manhattan but now lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn, with his wife,

Sophie, and young son, Rafael. Like everyone else, his twenties were a confusing blur. He is

no professional writer, but after publishing this passion project, he officially earns fifty

participation points toward a writer merit badge. Years after Shanghai, he now helps run a

startup in the vegetable space. He is officially all grown up. PS: Years later, he goes by “Ed.”
