Anton Strout, Reviewer, was born in the Berkshire Hills mere miles from writing heavyweights Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville. Fired in bitter jealousy of that fine literary tradition, he dabbles in his own fiction but spends most of his time trying to be an even handed critic. A controller smashing gamer and occasional musician, he is the side kick half of the New York-based faux folk music show Sneezin’ Jeff & Blue Raccoon: The Loose Gravel Tour which earned him the Best Storytelling Award at the first New York Fringe Festival. He is not as well read or as published as he would like to be.
