Evan Wright
Evan Alan Wright (born 1966) is an American writer, known for his extensive reporting on subcultures for ''Rolling Stone'' and ''Vanity Fair'', sometimes using his full name: Evan Alan Wright. He is best known for his book on the Iraq War, ''Generation Kill''. In 2012 he wrote an expose about a top CIA officer who allegedly worked as a Mafia hitman, ''How to Get Away With Murder in America.''
Though some compare his writings to those of Hunter S. Thompson, Wright claims his biggest literary influences were Mark Twain and British-American author Christopher Isherwood. The ''New York Times'' called his military writing "nuanced and grounded in details often overlooked in daily journalistic accounts" and noted his use of "gallows humor."
==Biography==
Wright was born in Cleveland, Ohio and grew up in Willoughby, Ohio. Both of his parents were lawyers. His father was a prosecutor, then the general counsel for a utility. Wright attended Hawken School,〔 but was kicked out for selling marijuana and sent to a home for juvenile delinquents called The Seed, which used harsh techniques "to straighten out kids: sleep deprivation, threats of physical violence, and boxing."〔 Wright studied at Johns Hopkins University and at Vassar College. He graduated from Vassar College with a degree in medieval history. His first writing job was to interview South African political leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi, but it was for a small magazine that did not pay.
