Julia Glass
Julia Glass was born on March 23, 1956, in Boston. She attended Concord Academy and later Yale University, both of which formed part of her education before she moved into professional writing.
Glass has worked across several roles in the written word, serving as a journalist, editor, and novelist. Writing in American English, she built a career that spanned more than one form of the craft, with her journalism and editorial work running alongside her longer ambitions in fiction.
Her debut novel, Three Junes, was published in 2002 and won the National Book Award for Fiction that year. The award placed her among novelists whose first works of fiction earned that recognition, and it stands as the most prominent milestone recorded in her career to date.
Glass is a citizen of the United States.
Quotes by Julia Glass
I grew up in a home where animals were ever-present and often dominated our lives. There were always horses, dogs, and cats, as well as a revolving infirmary of injured wildlife being nursed by my sister the aspiring vet.
I see life as increasingly complex, vivid, colorful, crazy, chaotic. That's the world I write about... the world I live in.
When it comes to love, dogs make pretty steep competition for us people. And rightly so.
My tastes, like my bones, fossilized decades ago. Reach a certain age and you are obliged to become an anthropologist. It’s the only way to ignore that the rest of the world regards you as an artifact, that your culture has faded beyond the horizon, leaving you adrift on your tiny, solitary life raft.
People take their same old lives wherever they go. No place is perfect enough to strip you of that.
