Since his undergraduate days at Yale University, Jonathan Levi has followed a career in writing, theatre, and music. A violin student of Broadus Erle and Syoko Aki, Levi began playing jazz violin in bars in Nantucket and went on to perform and record with jazz and rock bands in the United States and Europe, including Laurasia, Antares, and Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians.
Following graduation, Levi received a Mellon Fellowship to study at Cambridge University, where he co-founded the literary magazine Granta and, through 1987, served as U.S. Editor for the journal called quite simply, the most impressive magazine of its time, (Daily Telegraph).
After leaving Granta, Levi divided his time between writing and producing. His 1992 novel, A Guide for the Perplexed was called a fable of fantastical lushness, reminiscent of the best fairy tales, (The New York Times Book Review) and compared to the outrageous satire of Monty Python, and the globetrotting of Vanity Fair, (Washington Post), while also bearing the mark of such fabulists as Günter Grass and Gabriel García Marquez. (Newsday) Levis short stories and articles have appeared in many magazines including Granta, Condé Nast Traveler, GQ, Terra Nova,The Nation, The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times Book Review.
