John Rember lives and writes in the Sawtooth Valley of Idaho. Recurring themes in his writing include the meaning of place, the impact of tourism on the West, and the fragility of industrial civilization. John’s latest work, Journal of the Plague Years, is a three-volume series of journal entries written during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. It joins A Hundred Little Pieces on the End of the World, MFA in a Box: A Why to Write Book, his memoir Traplines: Coming Home to Sawtooth Valley, and three short story collections: Sudden Death, Over Time, Cheerleaders from Gomorrah: Tales from the Lycra Archipelago and Coyote in the Mountains.
