Benjamin Kunkel, novelist and founding editor at n+1, grew up in Colorado. He attended California's rural, all-male Deep Springs College, before finishing his undergraduate degree at Harvard University. He later received an MFA from Columbia University. Kunkel, who has contributed essays and articles to Dissent, The Nation, and the The New York Review of Books, London Review of Books, and GQ, established n+1 in 2005. The journal, published twice yearly, trolls politics, literature, and culture. Kunkel's first novel Indecision, published in 2005, received rave reviews. A coming of age story, Indecision follows chronically indecisive Dwight B. Wilmerding as he tries to grow up by finally committing to something. [show less]
