COWBOYS AND EAST INDIANS
Winner of the 2014 PEN Open Book Award (formerly the Beyond Margins Awards), which honors book-length writings by authors of color published in the United States.
Set in both India and the American West, the stories in this debut collection are about characters finding themselves in new, often rapidly changing worlds. The collection is at once poignant and humorous, as well as keenly observed. McConigley combines a compelling exploration of the immigrant experience reminiscent of Jhumpa Lahiri, as well as an evocative portrayal of the Western United States a la Annie Proulx.
Nina McConigley holds an MFA in Fiction from the University of Houston. She has been twice nominated for a Pushcart Prize and for The Best New American Voices 2009.
