An editor at the journal n + 1, he is the author of the 2011 novel The Art of Fielding. Early life and educationHarbach grew up in Racine, Wisconsin. His father was an accountant and his mother the head of a Montessori school.[2] Harbach graduated from Harvard University, where he became friendly with fellow writers and journalists Keith Gessen and Benjamin Kunkel.[3] He received an MFA from the University of Virginia.[4] n + 1In 2004, Mark Greif, Gessen, Harbach, Kunkel, and Marco Roth launched the literary journal n + 1;[5] Harbach had come up with the name as early as 1998.[6] Harbach is both an editor and writer for the journal, contributing essays on environmentalism, David Foster Wallace, and the Boston Red Sox.[7] The Art of FieldingHarbach worked on his novel The Art of Fielding for nine years.[8] The novel, set at Westish College, a small school on the shore of Lake Michigan, tells the story of the gifted young shortstop Henry Skrimshander, whose errant throw upends the lives of five people. In high school, Harbach had played baseball, along with golf and basketball; in March 2010, he told Bloomberg News, "What fascinates me about baseball is that although it's a team game, and a team becomes a kind of family, the players on the field are each very much alone. Your teammates depend on you and support you, but at the moments that count they can't bail you out."[9] After a heated auction ($665,000),[10] the book was acquired and published by Little, Brown in the fall of 2011. A Vanity Fair e-book describing the writing and publication of the novel was later released. The Art of Fielding was met with extraordinary critical praise. In the New York Times, Michiko Kakutani wrote, "'The Art of Fielding' is not only a wonderful baseball novel—it zooms immediately into the pantheon of classics, alongside "The Natural" by Bernard Malamud and "The Southpaw" by Mark Harris—but it's also a magical, melancholy story about friendship and coming of age that marks the debut of an immensely talented writer." MFA vs NYCHarbach edited a book about two American writing cultures, released in February 2014. The book was based on Harbach's widely read essay "MFA vs NYC," and featured essays by n+1 contributors such as Elif Batuman and Keith Gessen, as well as the novelist George Saunders. The Times's Dwight Garner described it as a "serious, helpful and wily book." Awards and recognition
ControversyIn September, 2017, writer Charles C. Green sued Chad Harbach claiming "large-scale misappropriation" by Harbach. The suit noted a very strong plot and style resemblance between The Art of Fielding and Green's previously completed screenplay, Bucky's 9th.[11][12] Green claimed Harbach had somehow seen an unpublished version of his manuscript. In July, 2018, Green's suit was dismissed, though he claimed he intends to appeal.[13] References1. ^http://www.themodernnovel.org/americas/other-americas/usa/harbach/ 2. ^Philip Boroff, "Unemployed Harvard Man Auctions Baseball Novel for $650,000," Bloomberg.com, March 31, 2010. 3. ^Gessen, "How a Book is Born." 4. ^Boroff, "Harvard Man Auctions Baseball Novel," Bloomberg.com 5. ^Susan Hodara, "Intellectual Entrepreneurs: A highbrow journal rises in an era of sound bites," Harvard Magazine, January–February, 2010. 6. ^A.O.
