Books in Order: Unraveling the Intricacies of Dana Spiotta’s Writings
If literature had its own heroes, Dana Spiotta would surely be one of them. With her rich repertoire of critically acclaimed novels, Spiotta has firmly anchored herself in the world of literary fiction. Her novel Stone Arabia was not only a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Fiction but also brought her under the glaring spotlight of international literary fame.
In addition, her stellar work, Eat the Documents, earned her a spot as a finalist for the National Book Award and won her the much-coveted Rosenthal Foundation Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. A bearer of many laurels – Guggenheim Fellow, a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellow – Spiotta is a woman of letters that commands respect and admiration.
Teaching in the Syracuse University MFA program, she resides in Syracuse with her daughter Agnes, all the while stringing together words that echo in the hearts of her readers. Her writing journey began in 2001 with the publication of her first novel – Lightning Field.
