Matt Ruff

Matt Ruff’s first novel, Fool on the Hill, was published shortly after his graduation from Cornell University. Ruff’s other books include Sewer, Gas, and Electric: The Public Works Trilogy, Set This House in Order: A Romance of Souls, and, most recently, Bad Monkeys. While his work does not fall neatly into either fantasy or science-fiction genres, he is known for including speculative elements in his novels. Ruff lives in Seattle, where he writes fiction full-time.
