Jincy Willett is an American author and writing teacher currently living in San Diego, California.[1] She has written short pieces for various anthologies and periodicals including The Norton Anthology of Contemporary Fiction[2], Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules (Simon and Schuster Paperbacks, 2005), Funny Ha Ha, 80 of the funniest stories ever written, edited and selected by Paul Merton (Head of Zeus Ltd., 2019) [3], and Issues 22 and 56 of Timothy McSweeney's Quarterly Concern. Her first book, a collection of short stories called Jenny and the Jaws of Life, was initially published in 1987 to critical acclaim but smaller-than-expected sales. The public admiration of Willett's writing expressed by David Sedaris, however, had the book in reprint in 2002, garnering praise from critics and public alike.[4]
Her novel Winner of the National Book Award: A Novel of Fame, Honor, and Really Bad Weather,[5] was published in 2002. The Writing Class, a Novel was published in 2008 by Macmillan's Picador imprint and is a mystery and the first novel in a trilogy,[6] including Amy Falls Down, published by Thomas Dunne Books in July 2013,[6][7] and Amy Among the Serial Killers, published by St. Martin's Press in August 2022.
