Ed Park was born in Buffalo, New York, in 1970. He is a founding editor of The Believer and the former editor of the Voice Literary Supplement, and has worked as an editor at the Poetry Foundation. His articles, essays, and reviews have appeared in The New York Times, Bookforum, and other publications. From 2007 to 2011, he wrote a science fiction column, Astral Weeks, for the Los Angeles Times. He should not waste time by blogging at Disambiguation, tweeting @ThaRealEdPark, and replenishing the shelves of the Invisible Library. At least he can no longer be said to publish the New-York Ghost.
