Ron Carlson is an American novelist, short story writer, and professor.
Life and career
Ronald Carlson was born in Logan, Utah, and grew up in Salt Lake City.[citation needed]
He received a master's degree in English from the University of Utah.[citation needed]
Career
Teaching
Carlson taught at The Hotchkiss School in Connecticut, where he began his first novel.[citation needed]
He became a professor of English at Arizona State University in 1985, teaching creative writing to undergraduates and graduates, and ultimately becoming director of its Creative Writing program.[citation needed] Carlson then moved to the University of California, Irvine.[1] Carlson was the director of UCI's Creative Writing program until his resignation in 2018.[2][3]
In August 2018, Carlson was named as having credible evidence of having committed sexual misconduct with a minor student in the 1970s. The report, prepared by the law firm Locke Lord, named seven teachers in all.[2][3]
Writing
His short stories originally appeared in The New Yorker,[4] Harper's Magazine,[5] Esquire,[6] and GQ. In addition to his fiction, Carlson has also written for The New York Times Book Review and the Los Angeles Times Book Review.[citation needed]
He wrote of his first "good" story: "I did not understand my story; many times you don’t. It’s not your job to understand or evaluate or edit your work when you first emerge from it. Your duty is to be in love with it, and that defies explanation." (Ron Carlson Writes A Story).[7]
The short story "Keith", from The Hotel Eden, was adapted into a film by Todd Kessler (2008). The independent film starred Jesse McCartney and Elisabeth Harnois.[citation needed]
Awards
He has received a number of honors and awards, including a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in Fiction, a National Society of Arts and Letters Award, and the 1993 Ploughshares Cohen Prize.
