Schon vorher beschäftigte er sich mit Comedy. Im Alter von 22 schloss er sein Philosophie-Studium ab. German version: Robert Rodi wurde 1956 in einem Vorort von Chicago geboren. Robert still resides in Chicago, in a century-old Queen Anne house with his partner Jeffrey Smith and a constantly shifting number of dogs. He also organized the republishing of his seminal gay novels under the banner Robert Rodi Essentials. In 2011, excited by the rise of digital e-books, he returned to his first love, publishing new fiction inspired by the work of Alfred Hitchcock. This roller-coaster ride has left him with a distinct aversion to isms of any kind it also gave him an ear for hypocrisy, cant, and platitudes that allowed him, in the 1990s, to become a much-lauded social satirist.Īfter seven acclaimed novels set in the gay milieu, Robert grew restless for new challenges - which he found in activities as wide-ranging as publishing nonfiction, writing comic books, launching a literary-criticism blog, and taking to the stage (as a spoken-word performer, jazz singer, and rock-and-roll front man). Robert was born in Chicago in the conformist 1950s, grew up in the insurrectionist 1960s, came of age in the hedonist 1970s, and went to work in the elitist 1980s.
