Lindsey Drager height - How tall is Lindsey Drager?

After spending a year in Los Angeles working for a textbook publishing company, she entered the PhD program at the University of Denver where she worked as an editor of the Denver Quarterly and a writing consultant at the St. Francis Center, a day shelter for those experiencing homelessness. She also taught writing at the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design as well as Lighthouse Writer’s Workshop.

In 2019, her novel The Archive of Alternate Endings was among NPR’s best books of the year.

In 2017, Dzanc released her second novel, The Lost Daughter Collective, a "gender-bending gothic cautionary tale". The book was deemed "intelligent and densely layered" (Kirkus Reviews) and "formally rich" (Publisher’s Weekly). In her The Rumpus review, Ilana Masad noted, "Drager continues to be a force and should be recognized widely for her work."

Her first novel, The Sorrow Proper (Dzanc, 2015), explores the hypothetical end of the public library system. Called "a remarkable and mature debut" in a starred Library Journal review, it was awarded the 2016 Binghamton University John Gardner Fiction Prize and received Silver in the 2015 INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards in Literary Fiction. In 2017, it was made available in braille.

Drager has said she is highly influenced by visual art, in particular the work of Escher. In a Tupelo Quarterly interview, she said, "Much of my interest has been to reveal how language behaves in certain environments, and what forces are—overtly or obliquely—governing those behaviors."

Drager says her projects try to explore the questions: "What does it mean to have a body, to own a body, be a body, be bodied? How is that body constructed by others when it enters the public arena? How is that body governed by time, both the literal constructs of the temporal (bodies move always toward decay) and cultural periods, zeitgeist (bodies, depending on era, mean differently)? In other words: How are our bodies—like our books—authored and read?"

Lindsey Drager (born October 9, 1986) is an author and professor of creative writing at the College of Charleston.
