[close] I'm a fiction writer, literary critic, hack bodybuilder, and associate professor of English at Wright State University-Lake Campus. I'm also the editor-in-chief of The Dream People, a journal of irreal texts, and a contributing editor for Guide Dog Books, the nonfiction syndicate of Raw Dog Screaming Press.

Here are my published books: The Kafka Effekt (2001), Stranger on the Loose (2003), Pseudo-City (2005), Dr. Identity (2007), Blankety Blank (2008), Technologized Desire: Selfhood & the Body in Postcapitalist Science Fiction (2009), Peckinpah: An Ultraviolent Romance (2009).

Here are my upcoming books Codename Prauge (novel), The Kyoto Man (novel), and They Live: Cultographies (film & cultural criticism).

Here's what a few people have said about me and my writing:

"A bludgeoning celluloid rush of language and ideas served from an action-painter's bucket of fluorescent spatter, Peckinpah is an incendiary gem and very probably the most extraordinary new novel you will read this year." ALAN MOORE, author of Watchmen, From Hell & V for Vendetta

"'Destroy time so that chaos may be ordered' was the instruction more than half a century ago of Mailer's Man Who Studied Yoga and D. Harlan Wilson has taken that advice seriously; here is a novel which implodes and conflates autobiography, biography, history, quasi-history, alternate history and Occam's Safety Razor in a fashion which I find utterly original and utterly discommoding. The exquisite tilt of this novel runs us all off the board and on; its originality is a weapon. Firing at that bullseye on time." BARRY N. MALZBERG, John Campbell Award-winning author of Beyond Apollo & Phase IV

"Let’s dispense with the usual predictable analogies (“Kafka/Cronenberg-on-laughing-gas”), redundancies (“Phillip K. Dick/William Gibson-on-acid”), or accurate-but-somewhat-obscure references (“the most intense and, in a certain sense, the most significant young prose writer since Mark Leyner and Ben Marcus ... establishes Wilson as the Steve Katz of the post-everything generation ... vies with Derek Pell’s The Little Red Book of Adobe Live Motion for being the funniest book of the new millennium”), and cut to the chase: D Harlan Wilson¹s hilarious meta-pulp SF novel, Dr. Identity, is a funhouse mirror whose cartoonish distortions continually amaze and amuse—until one realizes that what we’re seeing is a disturbingly accurate vision of ourselves. An instant avant-pop classic by a major new talent. Two surgically-enhanced, stainless-steel thumbs way, way up!” LARRY MCCAFFERY, editor of Storming the Reality Studio & After Yesterday's Crash

“A blur-fast caper through a mediated nightmare future which will thankfully be prevented by a series of massive and man-made disasters.” STEVE AYLETT, author of Slaughtermatic & Lint

“Dr. Identity is a rollicking romp through a future so absurd, it can’t help but feel real. D. Harlan Wilson shows us everything we know—and don’t know—about ourselves.” ROBERT VENDITTI, author of The Surrogates

"Wilson delivers the surreal like no other writer working today." MICHAEL A. ARNZEN, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Grave Markings & 100 Jolts.

"These intermeshed parables of madness and disjunction are funny the way that fever-dream of the naked fetuses squirming silently on a sidewalk you had last night is funny—when you think back on it sometime around noon today. At the brain stem of this impressive, relentless, heterologic schizopolis crouches a reptilian complex that would make Kafka, Burroughs [close]
