Author of The Man Who Built Boxes: and other stories, (Bacon Press Books, 2013). If you’re an NPR listener, then you already know Frank Tavares. For many years, he was called “The Most Heard Voice” on public radio.

Frank has been writing his entire professional life. He started publishing fiction in the 2000s, and his short stories have appeared in a variety of literary journals and anthologies including Louisiana Literature, Connecticut Review, Story Quarterly, The GW Review, and The Seventh Wave.
