Lee Klein - Jrzdvlz

I won’t confess where I’ve settled but I will say that my new friends seem none the wiser. I do my best to imitate Christ and Socrates but it’s not difficult: humility at this point comes naturally. Pursued by curses and the consequences of actions and reactions, I have escaped into reality. No more supernatural than anyone else, I devote what’s left of my life to the most remarkable species of beast on earth.

Lee Klein’s fiction, essays, reviews, and translations have appeared in Harper’s, The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2007, and many other sites, journals, and anthologies. A graduate of Oberlin College and the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, he is the author of The Shimmering Go-Between, Thanks and Sorry and Good Luck: Rejection Letters from the Eyeshot Outbox, and Incidents of Egotourism in the Temporary World. He also received a 2015 PEN/Heim Translation Fund Award for his translation of Horacio Castellanos Moya’s Revulsion: Thomas Bernhard in San Salvador. He lives in South Philadelphia and can be found online at litfunforever.com.
