Mayer, an Assistant Professor
at USC's School of Theatre did his undergraduate work at Worcester
College,
Oxford and Cornell University, where he graduated--his MFA was
completed
at Columbia University. Mayer, whose literary papers are archived at the
Stanford University Libraries, was voted one of the nation's "100 Coolest"
people by BUZZ Magazine in the late 90s, and, having survived this brush
with fame and fortune, his work continues to grow and evolve positioning
him as one of the more singular post-movimiento Chicano voices in the American
Arts scene. Hyperbole Books is proud to showcase his early works.
