Tito Perdue
Tito Perdue (born 1938) is an American writer.
==Life==
Perdue was born in Sewell, Chile, while his father was working there for the Braden Copper Company. He was brought up in Anniston, Alabama, where he remained until he graduated as an alumnus of Indian Springs School. He attended Antioch College in Ohio for one year, before being expelled for cohabiting with his future wife, Judy Clark. They have a daughter, Melanie, two grandsons, and one great grandson.
Perdue continued his schooling at the University of Texas (B.A. – double major in English and History) and Indiana University (M.L.S. - Librarianship; M.A. – Modern European History), yet took several breaks from university life to visit New York City. After college, Perdue worked for some years as a librarian at the University of Iowa, and Iowa State University, before trying New York for a third time at the State University of New York at Binghamton. This experience lasted one and a half years; afterward, he accepted a job at Emory University in Atlanta. Within a year, at age 44, Perdue was fired, and decided to do what he had always most desired – write novels.
According to ''The New York Times Book Review'', "() language is vitriolic and hallucinatory, yet surprisingly lucid, producing a portrait both exceedingly strange and troubling," and in its review of ''The New Austerities'', ''Publishers Weekly'' assigned to Perdue “magically evocative descriptive powers, pungent wit and iconoclastic point of view.” In the pages of ''Kirkus'' it was said Perdue "writes convincingly and iconoclastically… a marvelous black comedy that is sometimes as astringent as John Yount’s ''Toots in Solitude''…” ''The New England Review of Books'' claims Perdue's novel ''Lee'' has "all of the makings of a classic." Jim Knipfel of the ''New York Press'' wrote, "Tito Perdue is, without question, one of the most important contemporary Southern writers we have — and should certainly be considered among the most important American writers of the early 21st century.”
