Robert Coover on Jody Scott

"Jody Scott was a gifted modernist writer who used the apparatus of fantasy/sci-fi to mock humanity's hubris and ephemerality. It has taken a long time to make human bodies, but it takes no time at all to unmake them: Jody Scott found hilarity in that. A delightful iconoclast who used vampires, extraterrestrials, zombies as metaphoric tools for her very human craft."        -Robert Coover

At Brown University, where he has taught for over thirty years, he established the International Writers Project, a program that provides an annual fellowship and safe haven to endangered international writers who face harassment, imprisonment, and suppression of their work in their home countries.
