Steve Almond
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steve Almond was raised in Palo Alto, California and graduated from Henry M. Gunn High School. He spent seven years as a newspaper reporter, mostly in El Paso and at the Miami New Times. He has been writing fiction for the last eight years. His work can be found in a range of literary magazines including Nerve and 3:AM Magazine. He lives in Arlington, Massachusetts.
He served as adjunct professor in creative writing at Boston College for five years until publishing an open letter of resignation in the Boston Globe on May 12, 2006, in which he explained that his resignation was intended to protest the selection of Condoleezza Rice as the college's 2006 commencement guest speaker.
He is the author of the short story collections The Evil B.B. Chow and My Life in Heavy Metal and the nonfiction book Candyfreak, and he is the coauthor (with Julianna Baggott) of the novel Which Brings Me to You. Steve was also a contributing writer to Alarm Clock Theatre Company's Elliot Norton Award winning play PS Page Me Later based on selections from Found Magazine.
