ⓘ About Max Byrd

Author Max Byrd was born in the year 1942 in Atlanta, Georgia. He was educated at King’s College, Cambridge, England as well as Harvard. Max is a contributing editor of The Wilson Quarterly and regularly writes for the New York Times Book Review. He taught English at the University of California, Davis and Yale, however he left academia to become a full-time writer. While he was still teaching, he published quite a few scholarly articles and books on eighteenth century literature, that now rests within moldy obscurity in some stately libraries. The research he did for “Fuse Time” led him to take a brief course in the California Highway Patrol Bomb Squad School, obviously a really different world than Harvard.
