Author Event: John Young with Angelo Pizzo

An IU grad and native of Indianapolis, John Young is the author of two literary novels: Getting Huge and When the Coin Is in the Air, as well as Fire in the Field & Other Stories. When he was eight years old, John told his mother he wanted to be a scientist or a clown. So he went into advertising and figures he got pretty close. He also earned an MFA from Emerson College, Boston.

After 20 years in Massachusetts, he now lives with his wife and two kids in Cincinnati, Ohio.
