Joanna Weiss in good company in Norton Sampler

Extraordinaire Joanna Weiss is featured alongside Amy Tan, EB White, Barbara Kingsolver, and other heady company in the Norton Sampler: Short Essays for Composition.

"I was psyched," says Weiss on learning that one of her Boston Globe columns (about Old Spice Guy, go figure) would be featured in the iconic writing guide for college students. "It's cool company to be in."
