Aimee Bender
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aimee Bender is an American novelist and short story writer, known for her often fantastic and surreal plots and characters. A close friend of Alice Sebold (both graduated from the distinguished creative writing MFA program at UC Irvine), she also teaches creative writing at the University of Southern California. A native of Los Angeles, Bender is influenced by the French Surrealists and the Italian writer Italo Calvino. Like those writers, her work probes the subconscious and questions and subverts the importance of realism as the dominating style of American Literature.
