In this Q&A, new MacArthur fellow Manuel Muñoz, professor in the Department of English, says the award shows the importance of submitting work that he feels fully confident in, rather than rushing to publication. "If that book takes 10 years, then it takes 10 years," Muñoz said. "There is always outside pressure, but it's about creating your own schedule and deciding when you feel that it's ready."
