Edward P. Jones Biography

Over the past 14 years Edward P. Jones has earned more than $500000 in book prizes (including The PEN/Hemingway Award for Lost in The City and the Pulitzer National Book Critics Circle Award and Lannan Literary Award for The Known World plus a MacArthur genius grant). In addition he has published three books taught fiction at Princeton University George Mason University and the University of Maryland and been published in a variety of magazines. However money is of little interest to him - he lives in a building at the top of Embassy Row in Washington D.C. (having recently moved from a noisy apartment in Arlington VA) but despite having lived there for two years has very little in the way of furniture. When he first moved into his apartment friends took him shopping but after the third week of couch-hunting he gave up - it was too much bother. However he does own several hundred books and a collection of American stamps and miniature Japanese carvings!
In a recent interview in Publishers Weekly he told the reporter Tonight when I go to bed ... I'll lay down on a pallet on the carpet. He says that he doesn't want to travel has no interest in fancy cars or clothes. In the morning he writes two or three pages and in the evening watches DVDs or Court TV; he says You could have a splendid apartment with all this gorgeous furniture and wonderful things on the wall and if you don't have those two or three pages behind you it's a terrible existence.
