Bakopoulos has a B.A. from the University of Michigan and an M.F.A. degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is also a faculty member in the Warren Wilson College MFA Program for Writers. ''Please Don't Come Back from the Moon'' (2005) was his debut novel, about fathers in Maple Rock, Detroit abandoning their families under a strange compulsion to go to the moon. It is narrated by the young Mikey, a would-be writer, whose father feels the same desire to leave. The ''New York Times'' said it "deftly ''My American Unhappiness'' (2011), his second novel, is narrated by Zeke Pappas, a young man compiling an inventory of American unhappiness for a struggling non-profit organization. The ''New York Times'' found Bakopoulos charming but the book too frivolous and arch. The ''Los Angeles Times'' found that some of the characters were one-dimensional, there only to advance the plot, but found the satire was pleasantly combined with warmth and affection for its subjects. ''Summerlong,'' his third novel, was published by Ecco in June 2015. In September 2015 he married Alissa Nutting. It is his second marriage. ==Novels== * ''Please Don't Come Back from the Moon,'' Harcourt (2005) * ''My American Unhappiness,'' Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (2011) * ''Summerlong,'' Ecco Press (June, 2015) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dean Bakopoulos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
