            Growing up in Atlanta, G.A., Steven Lee  
              Beeber (or "Beeb!" as he was then known)  
              bemoaned not just the fact that none of  
              The Beatles were Jewish, but that Barry  
              Manilow and Neil Sedaka were. If not for  
              the examples made by Lou "the Jew" Reed  
              and Joey "Jewy" Ramone, he might have simply  
              given up and become an accountant. 
   
  The editor of the forthcoming anthology  
  AWAKE! A Reader for the Sleepless (including  
  work by such greats as James Tate, Margaret  
  Atwood, Louise Bourgeois, and the Suicide  
  Girls), Beeber’s work has appeared in The Paris  
  Review, Fiction, Bridge, The New York Times,  
  Spin, MOJO, Maxim, Details, Conduit, Rain  
  Taxi, and elsewhere. He also blew sax for the  
  Atlanta-based Gospel-punk band The Chowder  
  Shouters. Once or twice, anyway. |
