Description
Steven Sherrill is a graduate of UNC Charlotte and holds an MFA in poetry from the Iowa Writers' Workshop. The recipient of a NEA Fellowship for Fiction, he has published four novels and one book of poetry. His debut novel, The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break, was published in the UK and translated into eight languages. Neil Gaiman selected it as one of six audio books to launch "Neil Gaiman Presents" for Audible.com. A prolific painter and nascent musician, Sherrill is now a professor of English & Integrative Arts at Penn State Altoona.
"Sherrill gives his Minotaur a forlorn Buster Keaton dignity. M has a silent film's starring role in the midst of a country-and-western talkie. Precisely by limiting the beast to deeds, not speech, the writer eventually creates -- against all odds -- a living hybridized contradiction. M, if stuck in the quicksand of our ticky-tack present, somehow still participates in the silent scale of myth." -- The New York Times
