Gene Adair edits manuscripts for the University of Tennessee Press in Knoxville. He studied film at Columbia University way back in the 1970s (receiving his MFA in 1980) and has written
three books, all of them biographies for the young adult market: 'George Washington Carver: Botanist' (Chelsea House, 1989); 'Thomas Alva Edison: Inventing the Electric Age' (Oxford Univ. Press, 1996); and 'Alfred Hitchcock: Filming Our Fears' (Oxford Univ. Press, 2002). A publishing-industry working stiff since 1981, he still nurtures dreams of becoming the lead film critic for the New York Times, but that's probably not going to happen.
