Darcey Steinke interviewed by Goucher Quarterly

Darcey Steinke, who has been invited as the center's first writer-in-residence for spring semester 2000, has quickly established herself as an up-and-coming novelist.  Her first short fiction was published in The Crescent Review before she graduated from Goucher in 1985.   Her first novel, Up Through the Water, a lyrical work set on Ocracoke Island, was published by Doubleday in 1989. Her second novel, Suicide Blonde, was published in 1992.   Her most recent work of fiction, Jesus Saves, was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year in 1997.

After her graduation from Goucher, Darcey Steinke became a Henry Hoyns Fellow at the University of Virginia, where she earned an MFA. She was also a Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University and recipient of a Time, Inc. fellowship.  In her youth, she was briefly a White House Intern; more recently she covered the Monica Lewinsky affair for George Magazine.   Steinke is also a frequent correspondent for Spin.   She has taught writing at many institutions, most recently the University of Mississippi in Faulkner's home town, Oxford.
