Alethea Black was born in Boston and graduated from Harvard College in 1991. Her father was a mathematician, and for a long time she believed her name, the Greek word for truth, was his way of tipping his cap to the idea of absolutes. Then one day her mother overheard her and said, “No, we got your name from a TV show.” (Judd, for the Defense.) Her first short story was published in 2007, and since then her work has won the Arts & Letters Prize, has been cited as distinguished in The Best American Short Stories, and has appeared in nearly a dozen literary magazines, including The Kenyon Review, The Antioch Review, and Narrative. Her stories have been read aloud at venues ranging from the Ensemble Studio Theatre to The Players Club. Read an interview here. Her debut collection of short stories, I Knew You'd Be Lovely is forthcoming from Broadway Books in summer 2011. She lives with Zoë in Dutchess County, NY. |
