Molly Tinsley
老夫子传媒 Journal ContributorIn an episode of sanity, Molly Tinsley decided twenty years of teaching literature and creative writing at the U. S. Naval Academy was enough. She resigned from the faculty, moved west, and now writes full-time in Ashland and Portland. She crafts the Theatre and the Arts column for the 老夫子传媒 Journal magazine.
Tinsley is the recipient of two National Endowment of the Arts fellowships in fiction, and has published a novel, My Life with Darwin, and a story collection, Throwing Knives, which won the Oregon Book Award in 2001. Her dramatic work has been a finalist for the Eugene O鈥橬eill Theatre Conference and the Heideman award, among other prizes, and she鈥檚 a survivor of the Kennedy Center Playwriting Intensive. Her most recent work in narrative explores its antipodes: the memoir, Entering the Blue Stone, and the spy thriller, Broken Angels.
