From his first introduction by the Chicago Tribune as “…a John Barth or a John Irving, with a touch of William Gaddis and maybe a dash of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.,” Thomas Sullivan has been eclectic. His over eighty publishing credits across the spectrum of fiction categories include short stories and novels translated into more than a dozen languages. Among the novels are BORN BURNING (optioned for a major Hollywood film), THE PHASES OF HARRY MOON (a Pulitzer Prize nominee), THE MARTYRING (a World Fantasy Award finalist for Best Novel), DUST OF EDEN (a Borders national selection) and SECOND SOUL, recently published to critical acclaim. Numerous short story honors are as diverse as inclusion in Best of Omni #2 to a Hemingway Literary Days Festival cash prize to a Catholic Press Association award.
His personal history is also broadly based. A former All-American athlete in two sports, he has lived in a dozen countries and been a gambler, a “Rube Goldberg” innovator, a coach, a teacher and a city commissioner. Currently he writes full-time in Minnesota and is a frequent public speaker.
