David P Reiter is perhaps better known as the author of four books of poetry, the most recent of which, Hemingway in Spain and Selected Poems, was shortlisted for the prestigious John Bray Award at the 1998 Adelaide Festival for the Arts. But he has been writing fiction longer than poetry and has had individual stories published extensively in Australia and North America, as well as being commended in competitions.
In recognition of his talent as a story teller, he was invited to be a feature reader at the 1996 American Association of Australian Literary Studies in Arcata, California along with David Malouf, where he read fiction that appears in Triangles.
Never content within the restrictions of conventional form and technique, Reiter's stories test the limits, bringing in post-modernist and magical realistic elements to complement his love of satire. His influences include James Joyce, D H Lawrence, Ernest Hemingway (of course!), John Cheever, J D Salinger and John Updike, as well as Australian authors such as Morris Lurie, Peter Carey and Frank Moorhouse.
