Charles Patterson

After I grew up in New Britain, Connecticut (or at least tried to), I attended Kent School, Amherst College, the Episcopal Theological School and Columbia University (Ph.D.). I have lived in New York City more or less ever since.

There I have been involved with books in one way or another--reading, writing, editing, reviewing and teaching literature and writing.

My most recent book is Eternal Treblinka: Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust, published by Lantern Books, New York (now in its third printing). It has been translated into French, Spanish, German, Hebrew, Italian, Polish, Czech, Croatian, Serbian, Slovenian, Russian and Japanese with Portuguese [Brazilian], Hungarian, Dutch and Greek translations on the way.

I'm the author of ten books and belong to PEN, The Authors Guild and the National Writers Union.
