I'm just over the moon that Jayne Anne Phillips has won the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction for Night Watch. So deserved! Her work is such an important part of American literature. Nobody writes like her. Celebrate JA!

So happy to share my small contribution on why The Pulitzer Prizes winner Jayne Anne Phillips is so great and why she deserves all the praise. Thanks to Literary Hub for giving me the space to talk about Phillips' writing and kind mentorship. And thanks to University Press of Kentucky for arranging.

Pittsburgh, come out TONIGHT for an exciting conversation with Jonathan Corcoran discussing his new memoir No Son of Mine in conversation with Christa Parravani — you don't want to miss it!


"It turned out that reading Phillips’ stories and novels was a crash course in how the dust of conflict lands everywhere, how the reverberations from foreign battles are felt in the places we consider safe." Jonathan Corcoran lithub.com/in-praise-of-p…
