Edward P. Jones
Edward P. Jones, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for his 2003 novel, The Known World, believes authorship is a journey that, in some ways, starts anew with each writing project. Jones is also the author of two collections of short–stories, Lost in the City (1992) and All Aunt Hagar’s Children (2006). He has taught fiction at a variety of universities and now lives in Washington, D.C., the city where he was born.
