Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Glen David Gold is the author of the best-selling novels SUNNYSIDE and CARTER BEATS THE DEVIL, which has been translated into 14 languages. His short fiction, essays and journalism have appeared in Playboy, McSweeney's, Tin House, Wired, the New York Times Sunday Magazine and Zyzzyva. He has written comic books for DC and Dark Horse, and his essays about creator Jack Kirby accompanied the landmark MASTERS OF AMERICAN COMICS and COMIC BOOK APOCALYPSE museum shows.

With Ben Acker and Ben Blacker (no, really), he wrote several episodes of THE THRILLING ADVENTURE HOUR, a fake radio show available on iTunes and wherever else fine fake radio shows are hosted, and with Jeffrey Cranor and Joseph Fink, he wrote four episodes of WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE, also available where podcasts are...podcast.

Burying the lede somewhat, his memoir I WILL BE COMPLETE, a three-volume examination of his simultaneous attempts to find connection and autonomy, is now available from Knopf on this platform and cough cough others. The Washington Post calls it "a banquet of vivacity, shrewdness and wit, a soiree of heart-wreck wised up by humor" and the Los Angeles Times calls it "an audacious, boundary-shattering work that will be talked about for a very long time."

He lives in Southern California and if you happen to be a showrunner on an hour-long, he's really good at structure, world-building and layering in character flaws, and his personal hygiene is excellent. He hits his head on something roughly once a week, and is fairly sure that's how he's going to make his exit.
