Michael Pearson

Willie Morris, the former editor of Harper’s, said, “Michael Pearson is one of our nation’s finest memoirists.” And Fintan O'Toole described Pearson's recent book, THE ROAD TO DUNGANNON, as "a book like no other, a highly original and wonderfully deft weaving together of memory and history, place and time, knowledge and mystery, the personal and the political, darkness and light." For years a professor of creative writing at Old Dominion University, Pearson lives in Williamsburg, Virginia.
