David Baillie was born, raised, and educated in Hamilton, Ontario. He emigrated from Canada to the United States in 1996, and has since been teaching modern and postmodern art and literature at a New England college preparatory school. What We Salvage is Baillie’s debut novel, a work that draws upon his own experiences in the post-boot culture music scene of the late ’80s-early ’90s. His second novel, Little Bones, will be out in late 2019. He currently lives in central Massachusetts with his two sons, his artist/educator wife, Darcy, and her two daughters.
