“Don’t be surprised, he is a barbarian in the literal sense of the word—-as soon as he arrives at a party he immediately picks up something and starts reading.” -Vladimir Nabokov

Gabriel Levinson is the former reviews editor for Make: A Chicago Literary Magazine as well as an editor/contributor to Is Greater Than.  Levinson has taught original creative writing workshops at 826 Chicago and elsewhere in the city.  In 2007 he produced The John & Bill Show, which brought legendary animators John Kricfalusi and Bill Plympton together for the first time (Plympton and Levinson later reunited for an exclusive Chicago test screening of Idiots & Angels).  In 2008, Levinson was the tour manager for An Evening with Don Hertzfeldt.  For a number of years he was a member of Stag Party, a not-so-influential and best-forgotten band.  Fun fact: Levinson makes a brief cameo (as Boy With Apple) in Steven Soderbergh’s critically-acclaimed 1993 German experimental film König der Murmelspieler.
