Seth Rogoff

Seth Rogoff is a novelist and a scholar of literary and cultural analysis. He is the author of the novels First, the Raven: a Preface (Sagging Meniscus Press 2017) and Thin Rising Vapors (SMP 2018). His shorter work has appeared in many journals, including BODY, Cagibi, Epiphany, Eclectica, and Rain Taxi. He has translated works by Franz Kafka, including the novel The Castle (Vitalis 2007).

In addition to his creative and scholarly work, he is a passionate environmentalist and works as a freelance analyst and writer for nonprofit environmental organizations. Seth earned his Ph.D. from the University of Amsterdam’s Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA). He received a MA in European Intellectual History from Duke University and a BA in the interdisciplinary program Literature and History from Washington University in St. Louis.
