Mark Kurlansky was born on December 7, 1948, in Hartford, Connecticut, United States.
Kurlansky received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theater from Butler University in 1970.
Refusing to serve in the army, Kurlansky started his career, working in New York as a playwright, having a number of off-off-Broadway productions, and as a playwright-in-residence at Brooklyn College. During that time, he did many other jobs such as a commercial fisherman, a dock worker, a paralegal, a cook, and a pastry chef.
In the mid-1970s, unhappy with the direction New York theater was taking, he turned to journalism, an early interest–he had been an editor on his high school newspaper. From 1976 to 1991 he worked as a foreign correspondent for The International Herald Tribune, The Chicago Tribune, The Miami Herald, The Philadelphia Inquirer. Based in Paris and then Mexico, he reported on Europe, West Africa, Southeast Asia, Central America, Latin America and the Caribbean.
In addition to numerous guest lectures at Columbia University School of Journalism, Yale University, Colby College, Grinnell College, the University of Dayton and various other schools, he has also taught a two week creative writing class in Assisi, Italy, a one week intensive non-fiction workshop in Devon, England for the Arvon Foundation, and has guest lectured all over the world on history, writing, environmental issues, and other subjects. In Spring 2007 he was the Harman writer-in-residence at Baruch College teaching a fourteen week honors course titled “Journalism and the Literary Imagination.”
