Christopher Bartlett grew up in Brisbane, Australia, but now lives in Woodstock, Vermont. After his thirty-year career as a professor at Harvard Business School yielded a dozen scholarly books dense with mind-numbing prose and unintelligible footnotes, Bartlett has tried to atone in his retirement by crafting more accessible and engaging literature aimed at a more sspirited, adventure-seeking readership.In "A Bloody Good Cox," he draws on his years as a committed oarsman, from the thrill of winning the Head of the River at high school to the gratification of representing Queensland in the King's Cup. But while Finn Sullivan and his mates often exhibit outlandish displays of youthful exuberance, Bartlett insists these activities do not reflect his own, more responsible behavior in his twenties.
