Allan Gurganus, a North Carolina native, is the author of Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All (Sue Kaufman Prize from the American Academy) White People (Los Angeles Times Book Prize, Pen-Faulkner Finalist), Plays Well with Others and The Practical Heart: Four Novellas (Lambda Literary Award). His stories have won the National Magazine Prize and the O’Henry Award. They are seen in “Best American Stories” and “The Norton Anthology of Short Fiction.” His political editorials frequently appear in “The New York Times.” His leftward politics have made him a commentator on the “Lehrer News Hour” and NPR’s “All Things Considered.” Gurganus recently appeared in the PBS “American Masters” series as a scholar-reader for “Walt Whitman, An American.” Gurganus has taught literature and fiction writing at Duke, The Iowa Writers’ Workshop, Stanford and Sarah Lawrence. John Cheever wrote, “I consider Allan Gurganus the most technically gifted and morally responsive writer of his generation.”
