Norton, 2001), which won the 1999 Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction from the University of Georgia Press. Clyde was praised for her work by The New York Times: "Clyde's writing has many strengths, but the greatest one is her ability to transform a shallow experience into something resembling hope. That she does so with intelligence and wit makes this collection as good as they get." She graduated from Brigham Young University, University of Utah, with an MA in 1977 and Vermont College with an MFA in 1997. She is the mother of five children: Emily Clyde Curtis, Sarah, Rachel Jones, David, and Thomas.
