James Dingman

James Dingman is a fiction writer and longtime student of American cities, their secret corners, and the people who give them a pulse. His work lives at the intersection of literary voice and queer experience, with a particular devotion to the humid, haunted atmosphere of the Deep South. He has called New Orleans a second home for more than a decade, and New Orleans Mood draws on countless nights spent in French Quarter bars, backstreet shotgun houses, and the company of strangers who became stories. This is his third novel. He currently splits his time between New Orleans and Portland, Oregon, where he is probably at a bar right now, listening.
