Louis DiGiorno

A native of the Bronx, Louis DiGiorno has been fascinated by storytelling in its written form since the third grade when a copy of The Hobbit fell from a shelf in the Children's Section of the Van Nest Branch of the New York Public Library and hit him on the head. He teaches Greek, Latin, comparative mythology, and palæography at a school founded in 1841 where he also serves as archivist and school historian.  Louis lives with his wife, an artist and fellow Latin teacher, as well as their two nearly-grown children, and a pug whom he claims is the 174th-great-grandson of Murator the Four-Pawed mentioned in the preface of And So They Say.
