ⓘ About Deb Olin Unferth

While doing her undergrad work, she never once thought about writing fiction. She just took a required English class, zero writing classes. She studied philosophy, and it felt huge, as though there was a ton of space to move around in. She did not get bored once and spent as little time as possible on any other subject. Later, she figured out this was a horrible approach to take, and she missed out on a bunch. Since, she has attempted to teach herself other subjects, and has done, at best, a patchy job of things. After Deb graduated, she moved to Chicago and took some grad classes at the University of Chicago. She was extremely bored. She believed that she was literally suffocating in her classes. She could not breathe in these classes. It nearly killed her to be taking philosophy classes.
