Robert rosenstone biography
•
I must have been born with a restless nature, something that will explain why I have traveled so much, changed fields so many times. Born in Montreal, Canada, I have lived most of my life in the Los Angeles area, where for some decades now I have been a professor of history at the California Institute of Technology. My publications have included works of history, biography, and criticism, but in recent years I have turned to more imaginative forms of writing -- a book of family stories entitled The Man Who Swam Into History (2005), and two novels, King of Odessa (2003), Red Star, Crescent Moon: A Muslim-Jewish Love Story (2010), and a memoir, Adventures of a Postmodern Historian: Living And Writing the Past (2016).
My works of narrative history and/or biography include Romantic Revolutionary: A Biography of John Reed (1975 Commonwealth Club of California medal for Non Fiction), which was used as the basis of the Academy Award winning film Reds; Crusade of the Left (1970), an account of the Americans who fought in the Spanish Civil War and Mirror in the Shrine (1988), a multi-voiced work that deals with three American sojourners in 19th century Japan.
