William Marling commutes between the hot spots of Cleveland,OH,  where he is an English professor at Case Western, and Tartu, Estonia, where his wife is a gender studies prof.  As an ex-journalist, he is a real pussycat about editing - just let him back into the sauna.  He is best known for his work on the detective novel and on film novel, but currently working on a study titled "Gatekeepers: How World Literature Circulates."
