Jincy Willett is the author of the novel “The Writing Class” (St. Martin’s), as well as the novel “Winner of the National Book Award” and the story collection “Jenny & the Jaws of Life.”
The New York Times called “The Writing Class” a “first-rate satire.” Reviewing “Winner of the National Book Award,” Entertainment Weekly noted that she “mows down worlds of artistic and psychological twaddle with killer sprays of language. Willett is effortlessly, furiously funny.” And David Sedaris calls “Jenny” “just the funniest collection of stories I’ve ever read — really funny and perfectly sad at the same time.”
Her stories have been anthologized in the “Norton Anthology of Contemporary Fiction,” “A Good Deal: Selected Stories from the Massachusetts Review” and the David Sedaris-edited “Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules.”
