Tony Tulathimutte, fiction writer and humorist -- NYS Writers Institute
Tony Tulathimutte, fiction writer and humorist, is the author of Rejection (2024), an acclaimed story collection that explores the many ways of being rejected— by lovers, friends, housemates, society, even oneself.
Longlisted for the National Book Award for Fiction, the book was also named a New York Times Best Book of the Year. Writing in the New York Times Magazine, Giles Harvey said, “A master comedian with a virtuoso prose style has produced an audacious, original and highly disturbing book . . . an incandescent satire.”
New York magazine called his earlier book, Private Citizens (2016), “The first great millennial novel.”
Tulathimutte (TOO-lah-tim-OO-tee) was born in Springfield, Mass., and is a graduate of Stanford University and the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. He has written for The New York Times, VICE, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, N+1, The New Republic, The Believer, Playboy, The Paris Review, and others.
He has received a 2017 Whiting Award and an O. Henry Award, and appeared as a guest on "Late Night with Seth Meyers."
