John Jiler writes drama and prose. He won both the Richard  Rodgers Award and Kleban Librettists’ Award for AVENUE X, which  began at Playwrights’ Horizons and played some fifty cities  around the world. He won a New Dramatists’ Weissberger Prize for  his first full-length play SOUR SPRINGS. His work has been seen  coast-to-coast, from the Labyrinth Theater to the Eugene O’Neill  National Playwright’s Conference to the Kennedy Center and places in between. His most recent book, Sleeping With The Mayor, was a  New York Times’ “Most Notable Book.” His first, Dark Wind, was  called by the Village Voice “a classic.”
