Early life and education
Her father, Sid Bass, is an oil heir and business executive. Her mother, Anne Hendricks Bass, was a philanthropist and art collector. Her parents divorced in 1986. Two polaroid pictures of her taken in 1980, when she was a child, by Andy Warhol were gifted by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts to the Princeton University Art Museum and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2008.
She graduated from Fort Worth Country Day in 1987. She graduated with an A.B. in English from Princeton University in 1991 after completing an 85-page-long senior thesis titled "Gender Versus Genre: Representations of Women in Five Films ."

Fifteen years later, they reunite for their daughter Emily's wedding. In a review for The Book Reporter, Bass was described as "a gifted writer whose storytelling acumen and evocative prose speak to her real potential as a novelist."
