Jessica Anthony is an American author whose novels are short, odd, and hard to compare to anyone else’s work. She has published three novels and one novella over a fifteen-year span, each one distinct in form and subject matter.
The Convalescent (2009) was her debut, a novel that moves between modern-day Virginia and medieval Hungary with a protagonist who sells meat from a bus. Chopsticks (2012) is a multimedia novel told through photographs, instant messages, and other visual fragments. Enter the Aardvark (2020) is a political satire involving a taxidermied aardvark and a Republican congressman. The Most (2024) is a novella.
Anthony’s books are not for readers who want predictable plots or familiar structures. They reward readers who enjoy literary fiction that takes risks and finds humor in unlikely places.
