Dennis Monn left the tiny Midwestern village he grew up in at seventeen after realizing his only options in life were to work at a prison, like his mom, or go to prison, like his cousins. He hitchhiked around the county for several years before attending Western Illinois University where he got his B.A. in English. He has lived in New Orleans for twenty years where he has thrived in the performance arts community as an award winning playwright, director and owner of the internationally known queer cabaret club, The Allways Lounge. Dennis regularly works with Broadway stars and is currently translating the Brecht and Weill musical Mahagonny to debut at the 2020 Provincetown Tennessee Williams Festival. The Legend of Addie Hall is his first novel.
