The latest novel from the director of UT’s acclaimed creative writing MFA program draws inspiration from James Michener himself—Whoopi Goldberg, too.

James Magnuson’s most recent novel, Famous Writers I Have Known, is available now. He is a former Hodder Fellow at Princeton University, the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship for his fiction, and the winner of the Jesse Jones Award from the Texas Institute of Letters.

Magnuson currently directs the James A. Michener Center for Writers at the University of Texas at Austin.
