Peter Rock
Edit ProfileCareer
He was a Wallace Stegner Fellow at the Stanford Writing Program from 1995 to 1997. Before joining Reed in 2001, he taught fiction at the University of Pennsylvania, at San Francisco State University and at Yale. He received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1998.
His short stories have appeared in Tin House, Zoetrope: All-Story, One Story, and other literary magazines.
Many of these stories are compiled in The Unsettling (2006). Rock’s fiction often focuses on characters on the fringe of society—outsiders, wanderers—and allows his readers to see into the minds of these otherwise invisible characters.
He is a 2014 Guggenheim Fellow.
