David Bajo is the author of the novel “The 351 Books of Irma Arcuri” (Viking).
The Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune raved that the novel “invokes the metaphysical spirit of authors Bajo clearly admires — Borges, Kundera, Cervantes, to name a few — and it’s loaded with intertextual high jinks, doppelgangers, artistic and carnal seduction and elegant mathematical equations. Think of it as Eastern European beach reading: a sexy book that’s about everything, yet above all about the act (Act? Art!) of reading itself.”
Bajo was raised on the California-Mexican border, educated at the University of Michigan and the University of California, Irvine, and currently teaches writing at the University of South Carolina. He has worked as a journalist and translator, and lives with his wife, the novelist Elise Blackwell, and daughter Esme in Columbia, South Carolina.
