Daniel Stern (January 18, 1928 – January 24, 2007) was an American novelist, and professor of English in the University of Houston creative writing program.
As a young writer, Stern and Bernard Malamud maintained a close friendship. Stern was a prolific and critically acclaimed writer. He published nine novels and three collections of short fiction and also served as the editor of Hampton Shorts. His work is celebrated for explorations of post-World War IIJewish-American life, formal experimentation in the novel, and for the innovation in the short story known as the "Twice Told Tale".[2] His first collection of such stories, Twice Told Tales, was called a "powerful emotional experience" by Ronald Sanders of The Washington Post.[3]
Although his novels and short stories are admired for their lyricism and experimentation, he only momentarily penetrated the mainstream with the novels Who Shall Live, Who Shall Die and The Suicide Academy (the first novel of the Wolf Walker trilogy). Publishers Weekly described him as "a writer's writer",[4] and as such he remains something of a cult figure. Anaïs Nin devoted an essay to The Suicide Academy in her collection In Favor of the Sensitive Man.
