Autorenporträt
Alan Kapelner was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1933. He graduated from Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn's Flatbush neighborhood and later took courses at the New School. A great athlete, he was asked to play with a professional baseball team. "I refused," he wrote, "because I knew I was going to be a writer." Kapelner had only one other novel published: All the Naked Heroes (1960). Two other novels, one titled The Air-Conditioned Hell, were completed but never published. His only other known published works were two short stories: "Jelly, Jelly, Jelly" in the 1955 anthology New Voices 2: American Writing Today, and "The Walking Running People" in the 1971 Survival Prose: An Anthology of New Writings. Kapelner died in 1990.
