Andrew Pessin is Professor of Philosophy at Connecticut College and Campus Bureau Editor for The Algemeiner—and portrayed “The Genius” on the former Late Show with David Letterman. Author of academic articles and books as well as works of philosophy for a general audience, his book, Uncommon Sense: The Strangest Ideas from the Smartest Philosophers, was named an “Outstanding Academic Title” by Choice. He has also published four novels, and greatly enjoys meeting (either in person or by video link) with the many bookclubs that have adopted them. The Second Daughter, written under the pen name J. Jeffrey—read the novel to find out why the pen name!—was a Semi-Finalist in Literary Fiction at The Kindle Book Review Book awards. The Irrationalist is an historical murder mystery based on the tragic life and mysterious death of the famous philosopher and mathematician, René Descartes. Nevergreen is an academic satire, and Bright College Years is about either how college used to be or how one remembers it years later, which might not be the same thing. In his spare time he plays guitar and piano and produces vocal sounds that approximate singing, and composes the occasional ditty.
