AKA

Jeff Sharlet: I'm the author of The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power, which spent six months on the NYT bestseller list; C Street, excerpts from which won the Molly Award, the Thomas Jefferson Award, the Outspoken Award, and first and second place for the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association awards for feature writing; and Sweet Heaven When I Die (W.W. Norton, forthcoming 2011). With my friend Peter Manseau I wrote Killing the Buddha: A Heretic's Bible (Free Press, 2004), and with the staff of KillingTheBuddha.com I co-edited Believer, Beware: First-Person Dispatches from the Margins of Faith. I'm a contributing editor for Harper's magazine and Rolling Stone and an occasional contributor a number of other publications. I'm currently working on two projects for which I welcome suggestions: The Hammer Song, a short history of "If I Had a Hammer" and the Cold War, and Evidence of Things Not Seen, an anthology of literary journalism about religion. I also teach creative nonfiction at Dartmouth College. I can be contacted at jeff dot sharlet at gmail dot com. Photo by Greg Martin.
