Mark Dunn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mark Dunn is an American author and playwright.

Dunn was born in 1956 in Memphis, Tennessee and now lives with his wife Mary in Albuquerque, NM. Among the twenty-five plays Dunn has written (as of 2001), Belles and Five Tellers Dancing in the Rain have been produced over one hundred fifty times. Dunn is presently playwright-in-residence with the New Jersey Repertory Company and the Community Theatre League in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. He has also written three novels, Ella Minnow Pea (2001), Welcome to Higby (2002), and Ibid: A Life (2004).

Dunn seems to be particularly interested in the epistolary novel, with Ella Minnow Pea being written as a series of memos, and Ibid: A Life, comprised entirely from the endnotes of a fictional "lost" biography.
