BioMy website: davidanthonydurham.com.
My first novel, Gabriel’s Story, received the 2002 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for Debut Fiction, a 2002 Alex Award from the American Library Association and the 2001 First Novel Award from the Black Caucus of the American Library Association. It was a NY Times Notable Book, a Los Angeles Times and Publisher’s Weekly Best of 2001 pick. My second novel, Walk Through Darkness, was a NY Times Notable Book and a best of 2002 selection from The San Francisco Chronicle, Black Issues Book Review and The Atlanta Journal Constitution. My third novel, Pride of Carthage, was a Book Sense Selection for February 2005. It has been translated into Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and published in the British Commonwealth. I’ve taught at a number of universities. I was recently the MacLean Distinguished Writer is Residence at The Colorado College but this fall I'll be starting a new position as an associate professor in the MFA program at California State University, Fresno.
I'm enjoying the release of my new novel, Acacia, which was published in the US in June 2007. The rights to it have also been sold to Italian, German, Russian and Swedish publishers! Hopefully that's just the start.
