John Lusk Babbott

John Lusk Babbott is an American fiction writer. He is still alive, and at this point it looks like most of his work is slated to be published posthumously. He is the author of several novels, bundles of essays, and barrels of short stories. He believes that sitting in a room by oneself can be a political act. He believes that surrealist fiction holds the power to bring those who read it a greater sense of psychological freedom in a topsy-turvy world. I Will Not Write Unless I Am Swaddled In Furs was written and published in McSweeney's Internet Tendency in 2014, and later adapted for the screen. The short film of the same name has been, thus far, the writer's biggest success. The author finds it somehow fitting that something written in about twenty minutes has made a bigger splash than a novel written over the course of six years.
