About Bonnie Jo Campbell
Bonnie Jo Campbell is the author of The Waters (W.W. Norton, 2024) written “with a ‘ruthless and precise eye for the details of the physical world’ (New York Times Book Review), Bonnie Jo Campbell presents an elegant antidote to the dark side of masculinity, celebrating the resilience of nature and the brutality and sweetness of rural life.”
Her bestselling novel, Once Upon a River (2011) was adapted into a full length feature film and released to international critical acclaim in 2020.
She is also author of Q Road, a Barnes & Noble Great New Writers novel. Her critically acclaimed short fiction collections include American Salvage, which was a finalist for both the National Book Award and the National Book Critic’s Circle Award; Women and Other Animals, which won the AWP Prize for Short Fiction; and Mothers, Tell Your Daughters.
