John Lewis Englehardt III (born May 23, 1987) is an American fiction writer and educator. His debut novel is Bloomland.
Englehardt earned a BA in creative writing from Seattle University and a MFA from the University of Arkansas. [1] Englehardt taught English composition and creative writing classes at the University of Arkansas while completing his MFA. [2] After completing his MFA, Englehardt worked as a contributing editor at Pacifica Literary Review, [3] and was selected as a 2015 Made at Hugo House Fellow. [4]
His debut novel Bloomland was published by Dzanc Books in 2019. [5] His writing has appeared in Sycamore Review, The Stranger, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, Monkeybicycle, and The Seattle Review of Books, [6] among other publications. [7] [8] Englehardt currently teaches writing classes at Hugo House, [9] a Seattle-based non-profit writing center.
Kirkus Reviews describes Bloomland as "Hugely important, hauntingly brutal" and states, "Englehardt has just announced himself as one of America’s most talented emerging writers." [10] Kristen Millares Young of The Washington Post writes, "“Bloomland” juxtaposes the proximate with the predator, intermingling their perspectives until the flickering becomes a bloody tapestry of our beleaguered nation." [11] In The Literary Review , Jeff Bursey states, "writing a relatively non-polemical debut novel about a student who shoots others at his campus would be difficult to do, but John Englehardt, in Bloomland, has achieved this feat." [12] Publishers Weekly describes the novel as "potent" and states, "Englehardt’s debut poses timely, difficult questions." [13]
Englehardt married his partner, Katharine Toombs, in March 2017. [19] He currently resides in Seattle.
