- more about the Writers' Series
John Jeremiah Sullivan was born in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1974, and now lives in Wilmington, North Carolina, with his wife and daughter. He occasionally leads a writing workshop at the university there. He’s a traveling correspondent for GQ and a contributing editor at Harper’s Magazine, where formerly he worked as a senior editor under the legendary Lewis Lapham. He’s received a Whiting Writers’ Award, the National Magazine Award, and a research fellowship at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers. His first book, Blood Horses: Notes of a Sportswriter’s Son (Farrar, Straus & Giroux), was named a 2004 Book of the Year by the Economist magazine and a finalist for the PEN foundation’s non-fiction prize. It moved the New York Review of Books to call him “an original and greatly gifted writer.” Various pieces of Sullivan’s are included in the Best American Magazine Writing and Best Music Writing collections, as well as in the Best of the Oxford American anthologies. For more than a decade, underneath that antic journalistic activity, Sullivan has been carrying out extensive research into the life and fate of a forgotten 18th-century utopian thinker whose writings exerted a hidden influence on the European philosophical Enlightenment.
