Bart Yates
Iowa City-based author Bart Yates won comparisons to J.D. Salinger with his brilliant debut novel Leave Myself Behind. The story of Noah York, a teenager coming to terms with his homosexuality and his family’s secrets, its young main character spoke with a voice as resonant and real as Holden Caufield’s. The book earned Yates an Alex Award from the American Library Association. Yates returned to the fertile territory of family, fathers, and forgiveness in The Brothers Bishop, about two gay brothers who return to their home and unleash years of pent-up emotion. In addition to writing, Yates is a teacher and freelance musician who plays the jazz clarinet.
