Jack Saunders has produced a body of work,
his stack, and invented a form to present it in, daily typewriting.
He has
published fliers, pamphlets, chapbooks, books, and series of related books himself,
through independent presses, and on the worldwide web.
He published his first
chapbook, Playing Hurt, in 1976, after writing, and working as a laborer,
for five years. His first book-length book, Screed, was published five years
later, by Vagabond Press.
He first appeared on the worldwide web, at Out
Your Backdoor, in 1996. He has had his own web site since 2000. He published
18 books at The Daily Bugle, 22 books at roman-feuilleton.com, and
is currently publishing a book a month at The Daily Bulletin. Writing the
Great American Novel on the Worldwide Web is part of JACK THE RAVER: THE CREATIVE
NONFICTION BYLINED COLUMN NOVEL, his 238th book.
He has not sold a word to
New York or Hollywood.
He calls himself, or has been called, The Madcap Titan
of the Dustbin, The Salvage Archeologist of the Mall Builder Culture, The Swinette-Picker
of American Letters, and America's Greatest Living Unpublished, or Underpublished
Writer, Perhaps the Greatest Unpublished, or Underpublished American Writer Ever,
which he shortens to "America's greatest writer."
