Jerry Irwin: I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. I had a stressful and challenging youth, fraught with all manner of insecurities, sexual apprehension, and full out hostility. I loved baseball, rock n’ roll, and wet the bed until I was twelve. An ex-girfriend/psychologist, told me I was probably a better person for it. The baseball, that is. I attended some colleges and visited several countries for various and all but forgotten reasons. Amazing how 95% of our lives are vaporous images of someone who may have been us. Despite that particular horror, and being the eternal optimist (if not benign psychotic that I am), I went on to complete six novels, have short stories published, stage plays produced, and earned some money writing film scripts that never got made, for people I’d only feel creatively involved with if I had strangled them to death in their sleep.
