Edan Benn Epstein

Edan Benn Epstein is the author of seven published books of fiction, including novels, novellas, and short stories. He is also the author of three more as yet unpublished volumes of novellas and epic novels that are coming soon. The Anti-Populist Reader represents his current shift to non-fiction, and the essay form. He also has an unpublished book on how he finished his first and second novels after decades of writer's block, entitled Faith and Work, also coming soon. Epstein is a member of the management faculty at CSULA and CSULB. Readers of his fiction note his lyrical prose, vivid dialogue, and an unusual focus on marginal anti-heroes who are often ignored in most literature. Edan's literary inspirations include, but are not limited to, Dostoyevsky, Cormac McCarthy, Paul Bowles, Ian McKewen, and I.B.Singer.
