John Kolchak

John Kolchak is a Russian-born American novelist, screenwriter and poet. He is the author of "Haymarket Square" - a novel-in-verse about post-Soviet Russia which made New York Times columnist and culture critic Cintra Wilson christen him as "one of a dying breed ... a thought criminal after your own heart."

"Next Year in Jerusalem" is a fictional account of the gospel story and a tale about the rise of Christianity as it parallels the ascent of the brutal Islamist movements of today.

He is also the author of "The Man in the Brown Suit" - a series of interconnected poems about the nature of memory and the immigrant experience which forms a prelude to his forthcoming novel "The Eternal Return."

He lives in Los Angeles.
