Robin Black

writer

Robin Black’s first book, published when she was forty-eight, is a short story collection, If I loved you, I would tell you this. She has since produced a novel, Life Drawing, an essay collection, Crash Course, and a mixed-genre work, Mrs Dalloway: Bookmarked, which is both a memoir about her relationship to Woolf’s novel, and a craft analysis of that book. She has taught widely in graduate writing programs over the past twenty years, and is also an advocate for people with disabilities, coming to that through her youngest child who has an ultra-rare genetic syndrome. Her work has been published in multiple languages, receiving many awards and accolades, including being shortlisted for The Frank O’Connor International Short Story Prize. She lives in Philadelphia and divides her time between writing and caregiving. Her current project is a novel, Your Mother Will Be Returned To You.
