Biography
Thom Dunn is a writer, musician, and utterly terrible dancer. He is currently a staff writer for the New York Times' Wirecutter and a blogger at BoingBoing, as well as the singer/guitarist of the Roland High Life. As a journalist and political commentator, Thom has appeared on several national and international radio programs discussing issues ranging from gun violence to climate change to the Irish language, and his writing has appeared on Upworthy, the Weather Channel, Vice, the Audible-exclusive Badlands podcast, and more. He is also a Huntington Playwriting Fellow, whose work has been commissioned by Cornell University and performed and read in cities from Boston to New York to Hollywood to Alaska. Thom's fiction, poetry, comic books, and essays have been published by Serial Pulp Magazine, Crossed Genres/Hidden Youth, Quirk Books, Tor.com, Asimov's, Grayhaven Comics, Ninth Art Press, and others. As a musician, Thom performs Irish folk music at pubs across the northeast; plays guitar and keyboards in Boston's premiere Taylor Swift cover band; and also records under his own name, in addition to his work with the Roland High Life. A graduate of Emerson College and the Clarion Writer’s Workshop at the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination, Thom enjoys mythophysics, robots and whiskey, and Oxford commas, and firmly believes that Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” is the single greatest atrocity ever committed against mankind. He lives in Boston with his wife and way too many weird stringed instruments. thomdunn.net
