RUI: Reading Under the Influence

Because everyone needs a literary hangover


Rob Duffer

Rob Duffer teaches part-time at Columbia College Chicago, and writes. Currently seeking a home for his first novel, A Place to Call Home, Duffer's work has appeared in The Taj Mahal Review, Flashquake, Pindeldyboz and others. His second novel is exciting and new, like The Loveboat.

He is a contributing reviewer for New Pages, a freelance writer for Centerstage and has had other freelance pieces published in print, online and recently, on NPR's morning show, 848. (Listen to Rob's 848 essay here.) Duffer's proudest accomplishment, however, is his son, Calvin, who is currently learning to stick his foot in his mouth. This is a skill Dad should learn.
