About

My name is Aaron Gilbreath. FerretyI’m an essayist, journalist and burrito enthusiast. I’ve written essays and articles for Harper’s, The New York Times, Paris Review, Vice, The Morning News, Saveur, Tin House, The Believer, Kenyon Review, Slate, Virginia Quarterly Review, Narratively, The Threepenny Review, and Brick. My essays have been listed as notables in Best American Essays and Best American Travel Writing. Curbside Splendor published my essay collection, Everything We Don’t Know, in 2016, and Outpost19 will publish my collection of jazz essays, This Is, in 2017. A contributing editor at Longreads, I tell overlooked stories about musicians, authors, food, Japan, the American West and the natural world, and I like eating burritos. You can find an excerpt from my Link Wray-themed novel, “Run Chicken Run,” at storySouth. You can contact me at prowlinggilamonster AT gmail DOT com
