    Author

    Victor Chen

    Chen’s previous books include memories of his childhood in New York and his education in the U.S. and Britain. His experience on the staff of The New Yorker in the 1970s may have been important, and he has puzzled critically over the history of New York and the world since the age of Franklin Roosevelt. He has also written short stories like “Useful Information,” parodies like “Legal Realism,” and poems like “Prosy Suspicions About a Poem Taught in College.”
