Alex Kudera
Alex Kudera’s debut novel, Fight For Your Long Day, won the 2011 Independent Publisher’s Gold Medal for Best Fiction from the Mid-Atlantic Region. It is the first academic satire told consistently from the perspective of the adjunct instructor, and reviews can be found online at Inside Higher Ed, Academe, The Southeast Review, and other locations
Most of Kudera’s stories survive in slush piles across the continent or huddled together in an unheated North-Philly storage space, but The Betrayal of Times of Peace and Prosperity is available as a 99-cent single wherever e-books are downloaded. It has also been translated with several others into Romanian, but as of this writing, he’s got nothing in the Congo or China.
Kudera writes but most often interviews novelists for When Falls the Coliseum. He blogs at kudera.blogspot.com under the flag of the United States of Kudera (and its alias Big Lao Gu); he has not yet determined if he is cultivating a mental disorder or intent on empire, but either way, he hopes for democracy.
If you would like to read, represent, publish, or purchase Kudera, he thanks you for your efforts. He can’t guarantee an interview, but you are welcome to send him your novel if you would like an interview about your work. His other interview series concerns novelists discussing Frederick Exley’s A Fan’s Notes, and you are welcome to express interest in participating in this one, too. Please email him at akudera [the symbol for at] whenfallsthecoliseum.com.
