Michael Kimball Biography

Michael Kimball is one of the most popular and richest Novelist who was born on February 1, 1977 in Lansing, Michigan, United States. Michael Kimball was born in Lansing on February 1, 1967. He attended New York University and Michigan State University. He now lives in Baltimore.

Kimball collaborated with Luca Dipierro to produce two documentaries, I will Smash You (2009), and 60 Writers/60 Places (2010).

Big Ray was published in 2012. Sam Lipsyte, author of The Ask, says Michael Kimball has been writing innovative, compelling and beautifully felt books for years, but Big Ray seems a break-through and culmination all at once. It’s funny and terrifying and it’s his masterpiece, at least so far.” Jon McGregor, author of This Isn’t the Sort of Thing That Happens to Someone Like You, calls Big Ray “An uncompromising work of power and grace. I finished reading it a week ago, but I still can’t put it down.”

Kimball’s first novel, The Way the Family Got Away, is the story of a family who suffers from the tragedy of an infant son dying. Told from the alternating perspectives of the surviving boy and girl, the novel takes the reader on an emotional journey across the American landscape, as both children try, in their different ways, to reconcile what their family was with what it has become. The Times called Kimball’s novel “moving and clever: the open road, so long a symbol of freedom and self-discovery in American fiction, is here rendered as denuded of promise, embodying desertion, desolation and rootlessness. … Kimball’s novel reads as parable about the death of the family, of how impossible family life is in a numbedly materialistic society.”

Dear Everybody (2008) was published in America and Canada as well as in Australia, the UK, South Africa, and Australia. It has been translated into Greek and Korean, Chinese-Complex, Chinese-Simplified, and Chinese-Complex. Dear Everybody was based on a Post Road Magazine short story entitled “Excerpts From the Suicide Letters Of Jonathon Bender” (b. 1967-d.2000).” It was chosen by Dave Eggers and Stephen King for their lists of notables in The Best American Series Best American Short Stories Best American Non-Required Read and Best American Non Required Reading. Time Out-New York states that Dear Everybody contains “stunning prose” that “harbors such a strange emotional power, that you’ll find it hard to forget”. The LA Times says: “This slim novel contains a whole life, a life that is as funny, warm, sad, and heartbreaking, as any other. Kimball’s honest complexity and freshness are reflected in Kimball’s sharp writing. Jonathon Bender was the main character. He had something to share, but the rest of the world didn’t hear. He wrote to everyone he knew, including his father and brother, as well as his siblings and cousins. These letters, which were never sent, tell the incredible story of Jonathon’s childhood. Christine Schutt, author Florida, wrote about Dear Everybody that “In Bender’s unsent letters apo or thanks, Michael Kimball turns the familiar into strange again and the simplest confesses are made moments in sublime wonder.” Luca Dipierro, an Italian filmmaker and artist, made a short film based upon Dear Everybody.

Time Out Chicago gave Us 5 stars: “The sentences and even paragraphs simulate the stunned but dutiful response to the suffering of a loved one: short, raw and somewhat elliptical, wrapping themselves around the small tasks at hand and the larger questions constantly raised. … Kimball’s short chapters cast such a hypnotic spell, the reader is able to plug directly into the character’s grief. It’s a simply gorgeous and astonishing book, the kind that makes the outside world disappear once you open its pages.”
