Stuart Dybek Biography

Stuart Dybek is a writer and artist who was born in Chicago's South Side in 1942. He attended the Iowa Writers' Workshop and Loyola University in Chicago. His poem collections include Streets in Their Own Ink (1979) and Brass Knuckles (1979). (2004). His fictional works, such as the short story collections Childhood and Other Neighborhoods (1980) and The Coast of Chicago (1990), as well as the novel-in-stories I Sailed with Magellan (2003), have caused some critics to compare him to American literary giants Sherwood Anderson and Ernest Hemingway. The city of Dybek's introduction to the world is where his works are inextricably situated; both his accounts and sonnets unfold in the working-class Slavic and Mexican neighborhoods of Chicago, which are constrained by the interstates, concrete streams, and rail lines of the "city of huge shoulders." Both Dybek's sonnets and his novels include a kind of moving sincerity in which the creative mind and dreams are equally present with the harsh nuances of urban life. According to John Breslin of the Washington Post, Dybek's work moves successfully between the lumpy realism of urban decay' and an ethereal domain of poetry and astounding beauty tied to music craftsmanship and religion.
