Jacob Schultz

Hello all,

I majored in East Asian Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago. I've traveled to some of the most far-flung regions of the Pacific, many of which are prominently featured in my writing.

Among my interests: religion and politics and their relationship with society, as well as studying how internal forces frame more of our decisions than external factors, like government.

It is the increasing conflict between different "types of people," which is the inspiration for my first novel, "In Light of the Last."
