"Daddy Was a Thief" is featured at bioStories
Sep 10, 2015

Professor Perry Glasser, named a Fellow of the Commonwealth in Creative Nonfiction in 2014, has new work published online at http://www.biostories.com/.  Now online, it will also appear in the twice annually published anthology from bioStories. 

In Daddy Was a Thief, Glasser recalls his working class father's efforts to bring high culture to his three children, even if that meant stealing.  As a young, single-parent himself, he experiences the same feelings his father did. In citing the submission editor Mark Leichliter noted, "I greatly appreciate that the piece is willing to offer honest, if less than flattering, portraits without creating hype in doing so."
