Jincy Willett

Jincy Willett is an American author and writing teacher currently living in San Diego, California. She has written short pieces for various anthologies and periodicals including The Norton Anthology of Contemporary Fiction, Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules, Funny Ha Ha, 80 of the funniest stories ever written, edited and selected by Paul Merton, 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.
