Bakopoulos, Dean

Dean Bakopoulos is the author of the novel “Please Don’t Come Back from the Moon.”

“Families, heartbreak, political and social comedy — there is little that Dean Bakopoulos doesn’t grasp in an articulate, wittily perceptive, and soulful way, before he hands it back to the reader as literary art,” praised Lorrie Moore.

His fiction and nonfiction have appeared in The Believer, The Progressive and Zoetrope: All-Story. His short story “Happy,” published in the Virginia Quarterly Review, was a finalist for a National Magazine Award for Fiction.

He lives in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, where he is the Lillian Greenwood Artist-in-Residence at the Shake Rag Alley Center for the Arts.
