  • Summary

  • Jonathan Evison (born September 27, 1968) is an acclaimed American author known for his emotionally resonant and humor-filled novels. His notable works include "All About Lulu," "West of Here," "The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving," "This Is Your Life, Harriet Chance!," "Lawn Boy," "Legends of the North Cascades," and "Small World." Evison's debut novel won the Washington State Book Award, and his subsequent works have earned him critical acclaim and several awards, including multiple Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Awards. "The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving" was adapted into a Netflix film starring Paul Rudd and Selena Gomez. "Lawn Boy," published in 2018, has been both celebrated and controversial, facing bans in some schools and libraries for its candid exploration of race, sexual identity, and the struggles of American capitalism. Evison's writing has been compared to J.D. Salinger and Charles Dickens, and Sherman Alexie has praised him as "the most honest white man alive." Evison was born in San Jose, California, and later moved to Bainbridge Island, Washington. His journey to becoming a published author included stints as a musician and caregiver. He continues to live on Bainbridge Island with his family.
