Overview: Gayl Jones is an African-American writer from Lexington, Kentucky. Her most famous works are Corregidora, Eva’s Man, and The Healing.
Harper introduced Jones’s work to Toni Morrison, who was an editor at the time, and in 1975, Jones published her first novel Corregidora at the age of 26. That same year she was a visiting lecturer at the University of Michigan, which hired her the following year as an assistant professor. She left her faculty position in 1983 and moved to Europe, where she wrote and published Die Vogelfaengerin (The Birdwatcher) in Germany and a poetry collection, Xarque and Other Poems. Jones’s 1998 novel The Healing was a finalist for the National Book Award, although the media attention surrounding her novel’s release focused more on the controversy in her personal life than on the work itself. Her papers are currently housed at the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center at Boston University. Jones currently lives in Lexington, Kentucky, where she continues to write.
