Kelly Writers House Fellow Ian Frazier addresses the topic of 'lists and observational skills' as part of a reading and discussion of his work, hosted by Al Filreis at the Kelly Writers House on April 18th, 2006.
Nonfiction writer and humorist Ian Frazier combines first-person narrative with in-depth research on topics including American history, Native Americans, and fishing. As a staff writer for the New Yorker for twenty-one years, Frazier wrote feature articles, humorous sketches, and was a frequent contributor to the magazine's "Talk of the Town" section. In 1982, he left Manhattan for Montana, where he began the research for Great Plains (1989), a journey of more than 25,000 miles through the American West. Frazier returned to the West for On the Rez (2000), an account of the friendships Frazier made in his travels. Family (1994) is the story of Frazier's own lineage, as well as a chronicle of 19th- and 20th-century American history. Frazier's humor essays have been published in Dating Your Mom (1986) and Coyote v. Acme (1996). His most recent book, Gone to New York: Adventures in the City (2005) is a collection of essays about his relationship with the city itself.
