David Ohle

David Ohle's first novel Motorman was published by Knopf in 1972 and quickly became a cult classic due to its lack of availability and Ohle's relative quiet on the literary scene for the next thirty years.  In 2004, 3rd Bed Books reissued Motorman and Ohle published its sequel, The Age of Sinatra, with the Soft Skull Press.  In 2006, Ohle compiled and edited Cursed from Birth, a memoir of William S. Burroughs, Jr.  A third novel, The Pisstown Chaos, is forthcoming from Soft Skull Press in June, 2008.  Between 1979 and 1991, during the long expanse between the publication of Motorman and The Age of Sinatra, The Missouri Review published work by David Ohle six times.  Today he lives in Lawrence, Kansas and teaches at the University of Kansas.
