Victor Giannini
All of Victor's fiction has the same four goals:
"Make evil intelligible, justice desirable, sorrow endurable, and love possible."
So... a bio ... I cannot be objective, save for stating I believe that the best way I can serve humanity is through story-telling. I can't fix your plumbing but I can give you (inser value of said tale here).
I love teaching.
I've done a lot of weird things, juggling knives on unicycles, all the stuff that goes with skateboarding, making comic books, hanging out with Batman (I do a mean Joker impression, yes, I know everyone thinks they do), and I go CRAZY if I don't go out and live as much life as I can and then report back to y'all with some magical realism or some such fiction.
My bios are about as believable as my fiction, but if you were there, and many of you were, you know the truth truly is far, far more strange. And we shall never speak of it.
And that quote above, was stolen with permission, from my MFA mentor and friend, Roger Rosenblatt.
“Make evil intelligible, justice desirable, sorrow endurable, and love possible. My hero taught me that, and for once, I don't mean Batman.”
“We did what people do. We stood side by side and smoked our little passive aggressive wishes for death, and stared down at our glory days. And then we set the world on fire, for a dream that felt so real is nothing but a risk never taken.”
