Will Blythe is a magazine writer and book author living in New York City. He is a former literary editor at Esquire magazine but is now a contributing editor for Harper's and Mirabella, and writes for many other periodicals.[1] Blythe is perhaps best known for his 2006 book, To Hate Like This Is to Be Happy Forever, which follows the author through a season rooting for his beloved University of North Carolina Tar Heels basketball team and examining his hatred of the school's rival, Duke University. The New York Times describes Blythe thus: "... he writes amusingly, self-deprecatingly and often beautifully."[2] Blythe is also the editor of Why I Write: Thoughts on the Craft of Fiction, published in 1999.
