Michael A. Martone

Michael A. Martone

Michael A. Martone (b. 1955, Fort Wayne, Indiana) is a professor at the creative writing program at the University of Alabama, and is the author of several books. His 2005 book Michael Martone, originally written as a series of contributor's notes for various publications, is an investigation of form and autobiography. Martone's most recent book, Four for a Quarter, is a collection of fictions published under the pseudonym Michael Martone, a moniker derived from a Tuscaloosa zombiegaze band of the same name. The band, evidently, derives its name from Mike Martone, the hockey player, who, as it turns out, was named after Michael A. Martone, the writer.[1]
