Pull up a barstool and join us in George Orwell's favorite pub.
Kelly Daniels grew up on the road, living for stints in a Hawaiian commune, a lonesome desert cabin, and in an old delivery van outfitted with bunks. As an adult, he set off on his own, traveling extensively through Europe, Mexico, and Central America, picking up jobs along the way, jobs such as production manager of a furniture factory (Guatemala), newspaper reporter (Mexico), and bartender (all over).
He is the author of the memoir Cloudbreak, California, the novel, A Candle for San Simón, and his short stories and essays have appeared widely in literary reviews. A regular contributor to the Sun magazine, he lives with his wife and son in Le Claire, Iowa. He is a professor of creative writing at Augustana College.
