  <about><![CDATA[Michael A. FitzGerald is the author of &lt;b&gt;[book:Radiant Days]&lt;/b&gt;. The story tracks a dissolving love triangle between a hapless American, a beautiful Hungarian junkie, and a young British journalist during the last days of the Balkan War. Critics have called the writing &quot;beautiful and lucid&quot; and said the book &quot;flawlessly and astutely mirrors the ennui and confusion of this generation.&quot;

FitzGerald was raised in Skaneateles, NY. He holds an MFA from the University of Montana. He has been the recipient of a Fishtrap Fellowship, an Idaho Commission on the Arts Literature Fellowship, and an ICA Quickfunds grant. His shorter works can be found in Swink, Massachusetts Review, CutBank, Northwest Review, Other Voices, and Boise Weekly. He presently lives in Missoula, MT.
