Biography

Ali Alizadeh is a writer and theorist with a focus on creative writing and literary scholarship. His works include a philosophical study on Marx 'Art' (Rowman & Littlefield, 2019) and the poetry collection 'End' (Giramondo, 2020). He has also authored a historical novel 'Days Jeanne d'Arc' (Giramondo, 2017) and a short-story cycle 'Transactions' (UQP, 2013). His non-fiction work 'Iran, Grandfather' (Transit Lounge, 2010) reflects his diverse literary endeavors. Alizadeh co-hosts the podcast 'Super Fun Scary Cast' and is a founding editor of the dark literature journal 'Lost Souls'. His writings have been described as 'miraculous', 'beautifully twisted', 'harrowing', and 'hilarious'. He coordinates the undergraduate unit 'ATS2824: Writer's Voice' at Monash and supervises postgraduate projects in Marxist theory and creative writing. Alizadeh has a keen interest in how radical writers address themes of history, class, power, and ideology, especially in the context of literary works that challenge dominant discourses.
