David Lee Andersen is what he wanted to be when he grew up....Everything possible. Growing up in Iowa, not far from the Field of Dreams movie site, his life seems to embody that movie's blend of mystery and poignant optimism. His life trajectory has followed a crooked road full of unexpected detours. Bouncing happily from one tangential trail to another, from his beginnings as an irreverent "fraternity brat," to a "campus radical," from an aborted career tract as a journalist, to a wrangler on a ranch in Colorado, to an award-winning architect and planner, to a speaker and author; David has left few doors unopened. His writing sometimes betrays an intimacy seldom seen among today's writers. His story-telling reflects his varied and rich journey without parallel. An adventure for the reader that is not without laughter, and occasionally, not without tears. David Lee Andersen is a welcome new voice in American Literature.
