Lee Irby (born 1963) is an American novelist and historian.
He is the author of three major novels. The first,'' 7,000'' Clams (as of 2010, in 596 libraries according to WorldCat),〔Irby, Lee. 7,000 Clams: A Novel. New York: Doubleday, 2004. ISBN 978-0-385-51189-6 (WorldCat )〕 and was reviewed in ''The North American Review'' 〔The North American review. 292, no. 2, (2007): 20〕 and many newspapers.〔Richmond Times - Dispatch Mar 12, 2005, - Miami Herald - Jun 20, 2006, St. Petersburg Times - - Jan 16, 2005〕 His later work, ''The Up and Up'' (as of 2010, in 406 libraries according to WorldCat),〔Irby, Lee. The Up and Up: A Novel. New York: Doubleday, 2006. ISBN 978-0-385-51500-9 (WorldCat )〕 and was reviewed even more widely.〔Entertainment Weekly - Jun 2, 2006; Tampa Tribune - Jul 2, 2006; Publishers Weekly - Apr 10, 2006; Kirkus Reviews - May 1, 2006 ; New York Daily News - Jun 11, 2006〕 Both were published by Doubleday. Irby's work centers on the quirks of Florida's history, the interplay of natural beauty and rampant corruption and violence that marked the Sunshine State in the 1920s. In early 2012, he released "The Van", a novel following the life of a VW Bus. He teaches at Eckerd College, a private liberal arts school located in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Irby was born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1963. He graduated from the University of Virginia in 1986 with degrees in English and History. He then set about seeing the world, living in St. Croix, Italy, Mexico, and several major U.S. cities. He came of age in Key West, Florida, where he worked many odd jobs but found his voice as a writer amid the human debris of that island city.
