Alex Gilvarry is an American novelist whose work examines cultural identity and the immigrant experience. His debut, From the Memoirs of a Non-Enemy Combatant (2012), tells the story of a Filipino fashion designer detained at Guantanamo Bay, blending satire with commentary on post-9/11 America. The novel won the Hornblower Award for first fiction.
His second novel, Eastman Was Here (2017), follows a washed-up writer who travels to Vietnam hoping to revive his career with a major piece of war journalism. Gilvarry’s fiction combines wit with substantive themes about American culture and the people who exist on its margins.
