Jan Wildt (1962? - ) is an American author of short stories. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he briefly attended Columbia University before working as a stevedore at the Port of San Pedro (California). A 2003 interview with Wildt published in the zine Tungsten contains his only known biographical information. In recent years he has lived at a monastery near San Diego, California. Wildt's scant published output consists entirely of short stories appearing in small-press magazines devoted to literary and/or speculative fiction. Several of the stories use experimental narrative techniques and high-flown as well as pop-vernacular styles to address "the paradox of human desire," making him one of the past decade's prime exponents of the "erratica" movement in speculative fiction. A similar sensibility is found in selected short fiction by David Foster Wallace and George Saunders, among others. His science-fictional musings on personal identity and the sometimes porous boundaries between minds are reminiscent of those of Philip K. Dick. Published stories by Jan Wildt include: *Many Dogs, Barking (1998) *Like Riding A Bike (1998) *A Son of the Revolution (2000) *Wonderfreaks (2001) *Bink Is Luv (2006) *Hate Mate Awaits Fate (2006) *The After-Life (2006) *Apology (2007) *The Laughing Bambino (2007)
