| David Galef was born in the Bronx in 1959 and started writing shortly thereafter. He's a fiction writer, critic, poet, translator, and essayist because he can't seem to make up his mind what to specialize in. A shameless eclectic, he has published over a dozen books, including the novels Flesh and How to Cope with Suburban Stress, a Book Sense choice and one of Kirkus's Best Books of 2006. His latest is the short story collection My Date with Neanderthal Woman, which is at least as funny as its title. His day job is professor of English and director of the creative writing program at Montclair State University. |
