Anne Jones

Anne graduated in 2008 with a Master’s in English from Jyoti Nivas College in Bangalore, India, but upon coming to America in 2016 realized that she yearned to study literature again. She is from India but was raised in Indonesia and is now in America, so naturally, her interest is in exploring literatures of the Indian diaspora. Having lived in three countries also explains her attraction to literatures that examine the complexities of the notions of place and displacement, home and national identity.

Anne used to run a couture cake business that kept her on her feet (the cake she made for Thanksgiving to look exactly like a roast turkey—stuffing and all—was one of her favorites). When she isn’t covered in butter and sugar, she is writing to reign in and make sense of her scattered thoughts, discussing the finer points of JK Rowling’s writing with her three elementary school children, listening to 80’s rock music with her husband, or staring at the world map hanging on their living room wall.
