Robert Rodi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Rodi is an American (born 1956, Chicago, Illinois) novelist, playwright, comic book writer, essayist and performance artist. Much of his fiction centers on gay themes and several of his novels are named after archetypes of gay male culture. Rodi himself is openly gay.[1] The Chicago settings of his books also reflect his background.
Rodi's short fiction is collected in a number of anthologies, including Men on Men 5 and Neil Gaiman's The Sandman: Book of Dreams. His comic book work has appeared in Marvel Comics, the DC Comics imprint Vertigo and other independent publishers.
Rodi was a founding member of the Chicago-area performance group The Pansy Kings and contributed plays and performed at the Live Bait Theatre.
His novel Kept Boy is under option to Warner Bros. and Rodi is adapting it for the screen.
