Josip Novakovich
Josip Novakovich is a celebrated Croation American fiction writer. He is the recipient of many awards, including the Whiting Writer's Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships, and an American Book Award, among others. His works include one novel (April Fool's Day), three short story collections (Yolk, Salvation and Other Disasters, Infidelities: Stories of War and Lust), two collections of essays (Apricots from Chernobyl, Plum Brandy: Croatian Journey) and an instructional book on the craft of writing fiction (Fiction Writer's Workshop).
Moreover, Novakovich is a longtime friend of the Johnson State College community. He has served as a guest fiction editor for JSC's literary journal, Green Mountains Review, and his highly regarded instructional book on the craft of writing fiction, Fiction Writer's Workshop, has become a foundational text for creative writing students at JSC. So it is especially exciting that his reading will serve as one of the spring's first Creative Audience events.
