Autorenporträt
Larry Strauss is author of four previous novels, including Now's the Time--now an Earphone Award winning audiobook--and numerous non-fiction titles, most recently Students First and Other Lies, a collection of essays mostly about education. His short fiction has appeared in Streetlight, Extract(s), and elsewhere. Op-eds and other non-fiction have appeared in The Guardian, HuffPost, Ambassador (the inflight magazine of the now defunct Trans World Airlines), and USA Today, for which he is an opinion columnist. If you grew up in the 1980s, you might have seen some of the episodes he wrote for the first-generation Transformers cartoons.
