Meet The Author
Brewster Chamberlin spent several decades of his life working as a historian, archivist, university teacher, lecturer, poet, essayist and writer of longer and shorter fictions while living in Manhattan, Germany, France (Provence), Italy, Washington DC and Greece. In 2001 he retired from an executive position at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC to move with his wife Lynn-Marie Smith to Key West, Florida to concentrate on writing prose and poetry and a series of four novels revolving around the city of Berlin in the 20th century. Chamberlin also serves on the Durrell Library of Corfu board of directors and faculty, and is a board member of the Save the Pines Foundation and the Key West Art & Historical Society.
The surge of other-worldly feeling when a sentence truly works the way it should.
Do you write on a specific schedule or as the mood strikes?
I work from about 8 in the morning until lunch, then from about 4 in the afternoon until the PBS News Hour at 6:00 o'clock (when at home, when abroad at various points during the day)
