Robert Dunn (born 1950) is the author of four musical novels, "Pink Cadillac" (2001), "Cutting Time" (2003), "Soul Cavalcade" (2005), and "Meet the Annas" (2007).

Dunn has won an O. Henry Prize for his short story "Hopeless Acts Performed Properly, With Grace." He has also written for "The New Yorker", "The Atlantic", and the "New York Times Book Review".

He was born in Santa Monica, Calif., and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley. From 1976 to '82, he was on the editorial staff of "The New Yorker" magazine; for the final three years of the novelist Bernard Malamud's life (1983–86) Dunn was his literary assistant.

Dunn currently teaches writing at The New School in New York City; his musical group, Thin Wild Mercury, plays often in NYC.
