A Bit of Bio

Ayako Shida photo of William Eaton, Brooklyn, 26 May 2018William Eaton has been accused of trying to revive old forms: the intellectual essay, philosophical dialogue (and now light verse as well?). Please look into his essay collections: Surviving the Twenty-First Century (more personal) and Art, Sex, Politics (more intellectual).

Praised as a “joyful skeptic” (UTNE Reader) and for combining “the compelling truth of documentary with the grace of romantic fiction” (Manuel Puig). And from readers: “Beautiful writing . . . there is an electricity.” “Rewarding!” “Quite amazing.” “Very smart, very articulate, very warm.”

Eaton has been an award-winning journalist, poet, novelist, writer of erotic fiction, intellectual essays and dialogues. The Professor of Ignorance Condemns the Airplane, a dialogue, was staged in New York. Those interested in the more intellectual work might see:

Editor of the Zeteo interdisciplinary journal. Holds graduate degrees from Columbia and the City University of New York, and a B.A. from the University of California at Berkeley.
