Sebastian Junger
BIO
Sebastian Junger grew up in suburban Massachusetts, not far from the town of
Gloucester, the fishing port depicted in THE PERFECT STORM that was home to the
Andrea Gail and its crew. He graduated from Wesleyan University with a degree in cultural
anthropology in 1984 and has been a freelance journalist whose work has appeared in such
magazines as Outside, Men's Journal, American Heritage, and The New York Times
Magazine. Drawn to stories of adventure, Junger has delivered radio reports from the
war in Bosnia, covered smoke jumpers in Idaho's wilderness wildfires, and written about
the smallest border town in Texas. In addition he has for many years worked a high climber
and trimmer for tree removal companies. He currently lives in New York City and Cape Cod. THE
PERFECT STORM is his first book.
