 His first collection of stories, Lost in the City, won the PEN/Hemingway Award and was short listed for the National Book Award in 1999. His most recent collection, All Aunt Hagars Children, was a finalist for the Pen/Faulkner Award; five of the collected stories have been published in The New Yorker.

Jones has been an instructor of fiction writing various universities, including Princeton, and received a MacArthur Fellowship in 2004. He lives in Washington, D.C.

The John Christophe Schlesinger Visiting Writer series was established to enrich the experience of student writers in Yale College. It is supported by a gift from Richard and Sheila Schlesinger in honor of their son, who was dedicated to the pursuit of creative writing. Each year several distinguished writers come to campus to give a public reading and to confer with student writers in a variety of settings, formal and informal.
