Biography:

B.A., Yale University; M.F.A., Brown University. Author of The Fixed Stars, an experimental science fiction novel for which he won the 2013 Bard Fiction Prize. According to the prize committee, the novel has “the air of a kind of deadpan tragedy, of the sort Kafka scared us with, and made us yearn for more” and was “a perfect match of inventive fable with disquietingly radical storytelling.” He has also published in genre and literary magazines and is cofounder, with Joanna Ruocco, of the online fiction annual Birkensnake. At Bard: Spring 2013.
