From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rafi Zabor (born 1946) is a Brooklyn, New York music journalist- and musician-turned-novelist. He received the 1998 PEN/Faulkner Award for his first novel, The Bear Comes Home, which follows an alto saxophonist - who happens to be a bear - in his pursuit of musical perfection. Zabor's second book, the memoir I, Wabenzi, was commercially unsuccessful and met with mixed critical response.[1] In 2008, Zabor received an NEA Literature Fellowship.[1] Zabor is also a jazz drummer.
