Thomas Larson

In January 1971, I was living in Columbia, Missouri, where for two years I’d been an undergraduate English major at the University.[i] A surprise to literate me, I’d become pencil-sucking bored with my classes, especially the non-electives “Restoration Drama” and “Chaucer.”

Since I began writing nonfiction more than two decades ago, I’ve ranged from book to long-form journalism, criticism, essay, memoir, and, of late, video essay.
