John Haskell is the author of the novels “Out of My Mind” and “American Purgatorio” and the story collection “I am Jackson Pollock.”
“There’s something simple about the questions raised — Who are we? What makes us us? — but Mr. Haskell’s writing is weirdly mesmerizing, which lends his work an enticing air of profundity,” raved the New York Observer about “Out of My Mind.”
Benjamin Kunkel called “American Purgatorio” a “triumphant American picaresque, a thrilling quest poem in the indiginous form of a road novel.”
His stories and essays have appeared in The Paris Review, Nerve, N+1, Conjunctions, A Public Space and The Believer, among other publications.
