'Exposing the belly of the male beast is a brave thing to do. Brian Sweany writes like an American Martin Amis, and that's a great thing.' -Alexandra Fuller, author of DON'T LET'S GO TO THE DOGS TONIGHT, a finalist for the Guardian's First Book Award and the winner of the Winifred Holtby Memorial Prize

Brian Sweany has a BS in English and History from Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, Michigan, from which he graduated magna cum laude in 1995. A former semi-professional student, his collegiate tour included stop-overs at Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana (the all-male school that reputedly fired Ezra Pound from its faculty for having sex with a prostitute), Marian University in Indianapolis (the former all-female school founded by Franciscan nuns that if you don't count Brian's expulsion has fired no one of consequence and is relatively prostitute-free), and Indiana University (via a high school honors course he has no recollection of ever attending).
