“He’s the only person to ever break my heart with a bar review. That has to mean something.”
“I don’t like when he writes about sports. It’s just a clever, highly entertaining way of hiding the real, intense, moving stuff that he does so well.”
“One of the best live readers I’ve ever seen.”
“. . . the end result of a literary fistfight between Ernest Hemingway and Norman Mailer over how best to write about heavy metal and the middle reliever.”
Andrew Reilly is an award-winning writer, sometimes editor, occasional teacher and small-time publisher based in Chicago. His work has appeared in The AV Club, RedEye, and Ghost Factory, among others, and has graced the stages and microphones of some of the city’s finest reading series. So he’s got that going for him.
He also wrote and managed the highly-traveled and widely-referenced 35th Street Review and acts as nominal curator for Normal Words, an online literary project and artistic showcase. Prior to those sites’ launches, he served as managing editor of the now-defunct Reservoir web magazine. His first major release still looms on the horizon, but until then he thanks you for checking in.
