Jill McCorkle is the author of eight previous books, five of which were New York Times Notable Books. Winner of the New England Book Award, the Dos Passos Prize for Excellence in Literature, and the North Carolina Award for Literature, McCorkle has the distinction of having published her first two novels on the same day in 1984.
In Going Away Shoes, her latest book, McCorkle collects eleven brand-new stories bristling with her characteristic combination of wit and weight. “…These stories are the work of a great storyteller who knows exactly how--and why--to pair pain with laughter.” Two stories in Going Away Shoes were published in The Best American Short Stories.
She teaches writing at North Carolina State University and lives with her husband in Hillsborough, North Carolina.
