David Gessner Biography

David Gessner is one of the most popular and richest American essayist who was born on March 15, 1961 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.

In 1997, Gessner published A Wild, Rank Place, a short memoir about spending a year on Cape Cod and tending to his father while he died of cancer. The book subverted the typical Thoreauvian year-in-the-woods theme with its dark themes and blunt language. This was followed by Under the Devil’s Thumb, a collection of essays about an Easterner’s years spent in the West, years made more vital and radiant by the author’s own recovery from testicular cancer.

Since 2001, Gessner has published seven more books that combine memoir with humor and observations of the natural world, beginning with Return of the Osprey, in 2001. The Boston Globe and Book of the Month Club both chose Osprey as one of the top ten nonfiction books of 2001, the Globe calling it a “classic of American Nature Writing.” In 2003, Gessner published Sick of Nature. Sick of Nature has been much-anthologized and taught at MIT and Harvard University and many other colleges. Of Sick of Nature, renowned eco- critic Michael Branch wrote, “Gessner has positioned himself as a sort of Woody Allen of environmental writers” and “like Emerson, who observed that the dead forms of institutional practice must be revivified through radical acts of intellectual, aesthetic and moral imagination, Gessner rails against the narrowness of environmental literature to open the field to new (if less earnest) approaches.”
