Tom Bissell: A Portrait of the Writer as a Young Man
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 03.16.07 | 3:00 PM ET
Fiction and travel writer Tom Bissell, author of the new book The Father of All Things, which is about his journey to Vietnam with his war-veteran father, once again gets the profile treatment, this time in Poets & Writers magazine. World Hum books editor Frank Bures wrote the piece about Bissell, who’s also a World Hum contributor. “I’ve been reading Tom’s stuff for a long time,” Bures told me. “He just seemed like a natural for a profile. His collection of short stories, ‘God Lives in St. Petersburg,’ is fantastic, and his stories keep showing up in ‘The Best American Travel Writing.’ But his own story is a great one—the kind that gives hope to other writers.”
