  • Michael Gerber (born June 14, 1969) is best known as the author of the Barry Trotter series, Sunday Times best-selling parodies of the Harry Potter books. Before becoming a novelist, Gerber contributed humor to The Yale Record, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Slate, NPR and Saturday Night Live, among many other venues. He is an alumnus of Yale and Oak Park River Forest High School. In October 2015, Gerber launched The American Bystander, an all-star print humor quarterly. The magazine was an immediate hit, garnering strongly positive reviews in The New York Times and Newsweek, which hailed Bystander as "the last great humor magazine." As of January 2020, Bystander's thirteen issues have raised over $290,000 via crowdfunding and subscriptions on Patreon. Gerber currently serves as Editor & Publisher, personally handling all aspects of the venture. This auteurist method is somewhat unique in publishing; Gerber refined and perfected it with Barry Trotter and his other large-scale parodies of the 90's and 00's. In addition to providing an old-style closeness between editor and audience (as with Hugh Hefner and Stan Lee), its efficiency allows Bystander to pay its contributors. A March 2019 column in The New York Times by Jennifer Finney Boylan lauded Gerber's "hard work and genius" as it detailed Bystander's long, strange path to publication. In early 1982, a full pilot issue was prepared by then-Editor Brian McConnachie and Managing Editor Boylan, but funding fell through before it could be distributed; Gerber referred to this test-run as he prepared the 2015 edition, blending it with contemporary trends in comedy and design. Boylan wrote that the result is a "beautiful, hilarious magazine — very much what we always hoped the Bystander would become." While an undergraduate, Gerber restarted The Yale Record, America's oldest humor magazine. Gerber served as President of The Record's alumni organization from 1994 to 2014, developing an editorial and publishing model for the magazine. As a result, he is frequently contacted by student editors from all around the world, and has most recently worked with students at DePaul University, Ohio State University, Cambridge University, and UCLA. His humor novels have sold 1.2 million copies in 25 languages worldwide. Before turning to comedy, Gerber considered a career as an historian specializing in the 1960s and 70s. In 2008 he, along with novelist/editor Ed Park and author Devin McKinney, launched the popular Beatles fan site Hey Dullblog. Gerber has run the site for over a decade, and it has become a well-loved source for intelligent-if-irreverent analysis of the group, its music, and the era. (en)
  • Michael Gerber (né le 14 juin 1969) est l'auteur de la trilogie Barry Trotter, parodie de la saga Harry Potter. Avant de devenir écrivain, Gerber a contribué aux chroniques humoristiques du magazine The New Yorker, de l'émission de divertissement hebdomadaire Saturday Night Live, ainsi que quelques autres médias. En plus de la série Barry Trotter, Gerber a également écrit deux autres parodies intitulées The Lying Bitch in the Wardrobe et A Christmas Peril, respectivement inspirées de C. S. Lewis et de Charles Dickens. Il a également écrit deux romans non-parodiques, Freshman et Sophomore, qui constituent la moitié d'une série de quatre livres sur les progrès d'un élève dans une université imaginaire. En écrivant ces récits, Michael Gerber s'est essentiellement basé sur sa propre expérience lorsqu'il était étudiant à l'Université Yale. Gerber a grandi à Saint-Louis puis à Oak Park. Sa première œuvre publiée est une colonne humoristique pour The Trapeze, le journal de son lycée à Oak Park. Bien que beaucoup, à l'époque, aient mis en doute la qualité de son travail, il lui permettra néanmoins de rencontrer sa future femme. Gerber est par ailleurs atteint d'infirmité motrice cérébrale. C'est un fervent admirateur des Beatles et travaille actuellement sur un roman policier humoristique inspiré de la vie et de l'époque de ce groupe. Il a déclaré à ce sujet : "Je n'ai commencé à écrire des parodies seulement parce que les Beatles n'embauchaient pas. Blamez les." Gerber vit actuellement à Santa Monica. (fr)
