About

Kathleen McCormick grew up in Cambridge, MA, in a tense Irish/Italian Catholic family whose contradictions were both hilarious (in retrospect) and frightening. These experiences became the raw material for her later writing. A college professor, she’s won awards for her academic work—about innovative ways to teach reading and writing and teaching Irish and Italian literature--as well as her creative writing. Her  novel, Dodging Satan: My Irish/Italian Sometimes Awesome, But Mostly Creepy Childhood came out in November, 2015.
