Perry Glasser, fiction

Salem State’s own Perry Glasser has published a novel, a collection of memoirs, and three collections of short fiction. Sydney Lea, poet laureate of Vermont, said of Riverton Noir, the Gival Press Novel Award winner, “Glasser is in the same league as Raymond Chandler.” Novelist David Bradley said of Glasser’s metamemoirs, "The story of our generation, and how we got to where we are. No irritable reaching after fact and reason. Just. . . truth.” Perry’s work has twice been read on National Public Radio's “The Sound of Writing” and has three times won P.E.N. Syndicated Fiction Awards. He has been a fellow-in-residence at the Norman Mailer House and other artist residencies. In 2013 he was named a Fellow in Creative Nonfiction by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
