As a boy, Bruehl told stories like Alexander the Great conquering Persia. His mom always wanted letters when he was a soldier in Germany, but in college his English professor returned Bill’s stories saying, “Sorry, Bruehl, I don’t know what to do with this stuff.” So, he tried playwriting. His first full length play about the heretic priest Giordano Bruno, who was burned alive for thinking, was read in the Roman plaza where Bruno died. American producers, convinced, staged six more. Telling stories set Bill on fire, but he never tried to find a publisher, he wanted to write, and always hoped others would sell his work. Maybe deep down he feared all publishers would say, “I don’t know what to do with this stuff, Bruehl.” As a professor at Stony Brook University, he wrote 25 plays and won a Fellowship from The National Endowment for the Arts for his work. Since then he has written six books of poems and fiction, thinks the stories in Coupling are his best, and hopes you will try them.
