Perry Glasser, a 75-year old mildly disabled writer, is the author of eight books of fiction and memoir, including the surreal novel, Riverton Noir. All his published work is the consequence of over-the-transom submissions.
While at MacDowell, he was at work on a novel called The Nandy Chronicles set in a world much like our own - though not quite. There is famine and a totalitarian hegemony that confronts Dee, the Neanderthal girl brought to life by her mother, Phyl, by ex vitro means using DNA/RNA rescued from a 30,000-year-old fossil. Glasser dreamed his characters at night and wrote them in the day.
