Autorenporträt
Michael Rumaker is an American author (born March 5, 1932 in Philadelphia, PA, to Michael Joseph and Winifred Marvel Rumaker). He is a graduate of Black Mountain College (1955) and Columbia University (1970). Most of Rumaker's fiction concerns his life as a gay man. His first book, The Butterfly, is a fictionalized memoir of his brief affair with a young Yoko Ono, published before Ono became famous. His short stories, Gringos and Other Stories, appeared in 1967. A revised and expanded version appeared in 1991. He began to write directly about his life as a gay man in the volumes A Day and a Night at the Baths (1979) and MY FIRST SATYRNALIA (1981). The novel Pagan Days (1991) is told from the perspective of an eight-year old boy struggling to understand his gay self. Black Mountain Days, a memoir of his time at Black Mountain College, has a strong autobiographical element; in addition, there are portraits of many students, faculty and visitors (especially the poets Robert Creeley and Charles Olson) during its last years, 1952-1956.
