Author: Zack Ruskin

I graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a BA in Creative Writing. I am presently employed at an independent bookstore in the Bay Area. My author interviews have appeared online at The Rumpus and Goodreads, and in print in The Believer. In addition to my work for Unreality, I am also a featured columnist covering the San Francisco Giants for Bleacher Report and a reporter for Patch.com. In my free time, I take my terrier hiking, watch baseball, attend comedy shows, sneak whiskey into Woody Allen double-features and play copious amounts of Super Smash Bros.
