CHRIS
CRUTCHER - NOVELIST/SCREENWRITER
|
|
Chris
Crutcher grew up in Cascade, Idaho, a small lumber and logging
town of about 950 people in the mountains of west central
Idaho. After graduating from Eastern Washington State College,
Chris spent ten years in Oakland, CA as a director of a
K-12 alternative school for inner city kids who for one
reason or another couldn't make it in the public school
system. Chris currently resides in Spokane, WA, where he
works as a child and family therapist in a mental health
center, focusing on families invoved in child abuse. Chris
Crutcher's books include Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes,
Ironman, Atheletic Shorts, Running Loose, and Stotan.
What
I believe I have gained, and what I hope my writing reflects
from working these past twenty years with people in difficult
situations, is a sense of the connections among all human
beings - the ghastly as well as the glorious, - an awareness
of the damage we do as a society creating unreal expectations
for ourselves, and a different perspective on the true nature
of courage. For me, those things are worth exploring and
writing about.

JACK
BRECKENRIDGE
|
|
Dr.
Jack Breckenridge would be a proper name, but one seldom
used by his family or acquaintences, because if there's
anything he hates it's formality first and necktie second.
Even his patients in his dental practice seldom went past
Dr. Jack or just Jack. Retiring in 1985 after 42 years of
dentistry he found time to enjoy his painting and also persue
a desire to write a novel that would keep people laughing,
or at worst keep them smiling from start to finish, Pumpkins
are Orange.
