Jem Bloomfield is an academic, playwright and critic. On a good day. Other days he’s just a guy with a corduroy jacket and a pile of books on the floor. His past research includes a doctorate on the production history of Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi and his past plays include Bewick Gaudy, which won the Cameron Mackintosh Award for New Writing. (The flyers for that play make terrific coasters. Really, they do.) He also writes for California Literary Review, Strand Magazine and Mystery Scene. A couple of years ago he reached that defining epoch of his life where he can reply “Excuse me, young man, but it’s Dr. Jackass, if you don’t mind.”

Splendid intro, Dr. J!
