Coffee House Press to Publish Essay by SNHU MFA Faculty Member Justin Taylor

Manchester, NH, July 21, 2017 -- On August 8, Coffee House Press will release Little Boxes: Twelve Writers on Television, a collection of essays for people who grew up with television as the primary background noise, and what it means to have that blue glow as part of your cultural DNA. “Twelve writers talk about their influences, and they’re more Magnum, P.I. than Marcel Proust. This is cultural criticism from an enthusiast’s point of view—taking sitcoms and dramedies and very special episodes seriously, not because they’re art, but because they matter to us.” Included in the anthology is the essay “Creek Theses: New Notes on Dawson’s Creek” by Southern New Hampshire University MFA faculty member Justin Taylor. The essay is also being serialized in The Paris Review.

Justin Taylor is the author of several books of fiction, including the novel The Gospel of Anarchy (Harper Perennial) and most recently the story collection Flings. His interview with Percival Everett also appears in the Summer issue of The Paris Review.
