James MagruderJames Magruder has published four other books of fiction: Sugarless, Let Me See It, Love Slaves of Helen Hadley Hall, and Vamp Until Ready (also from Rattling Good Yarns). Yale University Press published his Three French Comedies, a collection of traslations that was cited as an "Outstanding Literary Translation of the Year" by the American Literary Translators Association; and The Play's the Thing: Fifty Years of Yale Repertory Theatre (1966-2016), his first-and last-book of non-fiction. His translations and adaptations of works by Marivaux, Molière, Lesage, Labiche, Gozzi, Dancourt, Hofmannsthal, Dickens, and Giraudoux have been produced off-Broadway, across the country, and in England, Japan, Australia, and Germany. He wrote, or co-wrote, the books for two Broadway musicals, Triumph of Love, and the more recent Head Over Heels, a deeply queer, blank verse mashup of Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia (1590) and the song catalog of the Go-Go's. He is a five-time MacDowell Fellow and a 34-year resident of Baltimore. Read More Read Less
