Jonathan Strong (born August 13, 1944) is an American author. His first work, Tike and Five Stories, was published in 1969. His most recent novel, his sixteenth, is Quit the Race (Pressed-Wafer, 2017).

He lives in Rockport, MA and West Corinth, VT with his spouse Scott Elledge.

Early Life and Education

Born in Evanston, IL, Strong grew up in Winnetka IL where he attended North Shore Country Day School. He attended Harvard University beginning in 1962, but dropped out in the middle of his senior year. His first short story, "Supperburger", championed by Atlantic Press editor [https://www.nytimes.com/1998/06/05/arts/william-abrahams-79-editor-of-the-o-henry-story-awards.html William Abrahams], was published in Partisan Review, summer 1966[1]. Strong returned, off-and-on, to Harvard, where he took writing workshops taught by Monroe Engel, Richard Scowcroft, and Theodore Morrison. He received his undergraduate degree from Harvard in 1969.

Career

Strong's short novel, Tike's Days (shortened, for pubilcation, to Tike) was published, along with five short stories, by Atlantic Monthly Press in 1969, followed shortly by his next novel, Ourselves. He continues to write, having, as of 2017, completed 16 novels.

Strong's long career as a teacher of writing began in Fall, 1969, with a part-time lectureship at Tufts University. In the years since, he has taught at Harvard University, the University of Massachusetts Boston, and Wellesley College. He has taught at Middlebury College's Bread Loaf School of English and continues to teach fiction-writing at Tufts University.
