Bob Chibka
Bob Chibka was raised in Portland, Maine. After studies at Yale, the
University of Iowa, and Cornell, he taught literature (with a specialization
in 18th-Century British novels) and fiction-writing at Boston College for
three decades before retiring in 2015. He loves being pushed around
by sentences and returning the favor. Publications include lit-critical
articles on works by Henry Fielding, Laurence Sterne, Aphra Behn, Sam
Johnson, Jorge Luis Borges, Nathaniel Hawthorne; one lonely novel, A
Slight Lapse; and shorter fiction (in Glimmer Train, Yale
Review, Consequence, Post Road). He's eager to round the elbow from
his Brewster home and mingle with other intellectually curious Cape
Codders.
