Authors - Ryan Boudinot

Ryan Boudinot is the author of the story collection "The Littlest Hitler" (Counterpoint). "Imagine a 21st century version of suburban scribe John Cheever writing brilliantly under the influence of hallucinogens," raved USA Today. "The result: 13 stories that will alternately entertain, impress and creep you out."

Dave Eggers called Boudinot "some kind of new and dangerous cross between Vonnegut and Barthelme." And Aimee Bender said that he has "a hell of an ear: for dialogue, for the right adverb in the perfect spot, for the joy of weird slang and for the rumbling underbelly of corporate culture."

His stories have appeared in McSweeney's, BlackBook, Nerve and the 2003 and 2005 editions of "The Best American Nonrequired Reading."

He lives in Seattle.
