D. Wystan Owen

D. Wystan Owen is the author of the story collection Other People’s Love Affairs, set in the fictional seaside town of Glass on the English coast. Praising the collection, Garth Greenwell wrote, “Owen writes exquisite stories that lodge somewhere in my chest and keep detonating—loudly, devastatingly.” From Yiyun Li: “Writing in the tradition of Chekhov, William Trevor, and Alice Munro, Owen's stories remind us that the thrills and the dangers of living oftentimes go hand-in-hand with the everydayness of life.” And from Pam Houston, “This book is strong medicine for a heart-broken world.” Owen received his MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. He is at work on a novel, A Disorderly House.
