Nicholas Delbanco (born 1942) is an American writer.

Life and career

Delbanco was born in London, England, the son of German Jewish parents Barbara (née Bernstein) and Kurt Delbanco, a businessman, art dealer, and sculptor.[1][2][3] He was educated at Harvard University, B.A. 1963; Columbia University, M.A. 1966. He taught at Bennington College, Bennington, Vermont, 1966–84, and at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York, 1984–85. He was a visiting Professor at such institutions also as Trinity College, Williams College, Columbia University and the University of Iowa. He was director of the MFA Program, and the Hopwood Awards Program at the University of Michigan, until his retirement in 2015.

He has published thirty books of fiction and non-fiction. His most recent novel (2013) is "The Years," his most recent work of non-fiction, (2017) is "Curiouser and Curiouser: Essays." In 2015 he published "The Art of Youth: Crane, Carrington, Gershwin, and the Nature of First Acts." 2016 saw publication of the Omnibus collection, "Dear Wizard: The Letters of Nicholas Delbanco and Jon Manchip White." In 2011, he republished Sherbrookes. This book brings his trilogy of novels ("Possession," "Sherbrookes," "Stillness" from, consecutively, 1977, '78 and '80 ) between the covers of a single book. Shebrookes is not simply a reissue of the three original novels together, but a revised edition of the trilogy without being a complete revision of the original story.[4]

Delbanco has served as Chair of the Fiction Panel for the National Book Awards, and as a judge for, among other contests, the PEN/Faulkner Award in Fiction and the Pulitzer Prize. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1980,[5] and twice, a National Endowment for the Arts Writing Fellowship.

In 1962, while Delbanco was a student at Harvard, he was a student in a creative writing course at Harvard Summer School taught by John Updike, author and Harvard alum.[6] Another student in this class was Jonathan Penner.

In the 1960s, Delbanco had a relationship with Carly Simon which is alluded to in her song You're So Vain.[7]

Delbanco's daughter with Elena Greenhouse, Francesca, is married to director Nicholas Stoller. His daughter Andrea is married to the ACLU of New Jersey lawyer, Alexander Shalom. Elena Greenhouse's parents were cellist Bernard Greenhouse and Aurora de la Luz Fernandez y Menendez.[8]
