Curious friends, countrymen, relatives, coworkers, and other folks who share the name "Lee Klein," I welcome you to a page concocted to organize the residue of one very particular Lee Klein's literary activity.

I live in Philadelphia near the Italian Market and the dueling cheesesteakeries. I moved there from Iowa City, where I attended the Iowa Writers' Workshop, where I moved from Brooklyn (Greenpoint), where I lived for four years -- before that Princeton, before that hometown Lawrenceville, NJ, before that Boston, before that Austin, before that Oberlin College, before that hometown NJ, before that NYC for a day or so after being born there.

Here are some links to some semi-recent publications:

A story about an exchange of intimacies in an under-construction house is in the anthology What's Your Exit?: A Literary Detour Through New Jersey from Word Riot Press. 

An essay about Barry Bonds and steroids and the good ol' USA that once was published in Barrelhouse is also in the 2007 Best American Non-Required Reading.

A semi-illustrated story called Carry Me Father No More is online at AGNI, published by Boston University.

Another story appeared in a recent print edition of The Black Warrior Review, published by the University of Alabama.

A story involving virtual baseball, Atum Ra, and Thorstein Veblen is in a beautiful lit journal called Canteen.

A very short essayistic thing about walking while reading War and Peace in Philadelphia was part of last year's Field-Tested Books from Coudal Partners.

A short fictional oddity appeared in the second print edition of No Colony.

On Eyeshot, I recently posted a story about a Michael Jackson impersonator in Madrid that first appeared in a 2005 print edition of Pindeldyboz. I also posted an essay about my half-Jewishness that appeared in an anthology from Soft Skull Press called Half-Life: Jew-ish Tales from Interfaith Homes.

Also, I've been posting brief impressions of new and old books. 

Other Stuff of Interest (for the Very Interested Only)

An old interview about Eyeshot's origins and the merits of my homestate and a new interview mainly about rejection letters I've posted.

This photo from 1998 earned a 9.9 on amihotornot.com (sadly, it's now '10.)
