Michael Dahlie is the author of the forthcoming novel “A Gentleman’s Guide to Graceful Living” (Norton).
Julia Glass said of the novel, “What kept me avidly turning the pages was a far deeper, surprisingly affecting story: the portrait of a man who can’t seem to do anything right, no matter how hard he tries; someone you want to shake by his bespoke lapels yet who wins your heart and keeps you rooting for him all the way to the bitter — no, the very satisfying end.”
Dahlie won the 2006 Pirate’s Alley Faulkner Society’s Creative Writing Contest. His fiction has appeared in Ploughshares, the Kenyon Review and the Mississippi Review.
