Bonnie Jo Campbell’s energy and biting wit make her work both
brutal and laugh out-loud funny. All is weird, immediate and raw in
Campbell’s stories and poems. Bonnie Jo Campbell’s new story
collection, American Salvage, was a finalist for the 2009
National Book Award. She is also the author of the novel Q
Road, and the story collection Women & Other Animals.
She has won the AWP award for short fiction, the 2008 Eudora Welty
fiction prize, and a Pushcart prize, and she was named a Barnes &
Noble Great New Writer. The New York Times has called her stories
"Bitter but sweetened by humor," and Publisher’s Weekly said
Campbell details, "domestic worlds where Martha Stewart would fear
to tread."
