==Life==
Abbott was born October 17, 1947 in the Panama Canal Zone. His father, a Colonel in the Army, at last settled his family in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The stark desert landscape would become very important in Abbott's fiction.〔http://archive.harpers.org/1986/08/pdf/HarpersMagazine-1986-08-0076564.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJXATU3VRJAAA66RA&Expires=1409673941&Signature=uMJBpvGg2P2wRmkyAmLHxH3XOIQ%3D〕
Abbott received bachelor's and master's degrees from New Mexico State University. After studying at Columbia College, he earned his Master's of Fine Arts from the University of Arkansas in 1977. In addition to lecturing on the art of fiction writing, Abbott has taught at several colleges, starting as an assistant professor of English at Case Western Reserve University in 1977. At CWRU, he earned tenure and was promoted to associate professor in 1983, then full professor in 1987, and in 1988 was named The Samuel B. & Virginia C. Knight Professor of Humanities. He took several leaves to teach elsewhere, including Colorado College (1984), Washington University (Spring 1985), and Rice University (Spring 1988.) In 1989 he became a professor of English at Ohio State University, where he taught until his retirement in 2012. In 2007 OSU promoted him to Humanities Distinguished Professor. He has also taught as a writer in residence or visiting faculty at Wichita State University, Southwest Texas State University, Yale University, Antioch College, Old Dominion University, Miami University, and the University of Michigan. Known as a dynamic and engaging teacher, students gave him consistently good reviews.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lee Abbott -- Ohio State University )〕 After retiring to his native New Mexico, he was named Distinguished Visiting Professor within the English Department of his alma mater, New Mexico State University.〔http://english.nmsu.edu/people/faculty/〕
