Jeffrey Frank

Where are you working now: I'm doing a non-fiction book project for Simon & Schuster.

What position(s) did you hold at The Star? - Editor, Calendar section, in Portfolio; assignment editor; editorial writer

Birthday: April 10

About Me: After the Star, I went for to the Buffalo Courier-Express (as editorial page editor, using all that I'd learned from Ed Yoder). When that folded after a year, I ended up at Congressional Quarterly for a few months and then The Washington Post.
After twelve years at the Post, I was hired by The New Yorker. I've published three novels and a translation (done with Diana Crone Frank) in the last few years.

Upon joining the Star alum network, I decided to become one year younger than Denis Horgan.

Jeffrey Frank, who was born in Baltimore, Md., has held various jobs, including newspaper days at The Washington Star and The Washington Post. He is now a senior editor at The New Yorker. He lives in Manhattan with Diana. They have one son.

He published The Columnist in 2001, and Bad Publicity in early 2004. Both books are set in mid-to-late Twentieth-Century Washington. Trudy Hopedale, the third part of the Washington Trilogy, came out in July from Simon & Schuster. Bookforum describes the books as "dark, hilarious stories of motion (and stasis) on DC's social ladder."
