Jim Krusoe's stories and poems have appeared in the Antioch Review, Bomb, the Iowa Review and the Santa Monica Review. His essays have appeared in the Los Angeles Times Book Review, the Florida Review, and Manoa. He teaches writing at Santa Monica College and Antioch University.
When you enter Jim Krusoe's wittily indeterminate world, your first
instinct is to grope around for a literary coordinate. At first he
reminds you of Kafka: the dreamlike inconsequentiality and
gentle-sinister comedy--the half-human animals and evanescent
temptresses. But the America that Krusoe inhabits is spelt with a
C, not a K. He is robustly situated in his time and place, and he
has a lilt that is all his own. In the end, he stopped reminding me
of anyone. Jim Krusoe is an original.
