in <a href="/wiki/Seattle" title="Seattle">Seattle</a>, Washington, and studied at <a href="/wiki/Stanford_University" title="Stanford University">Stanford University</a> from 1963 to 1967, with a major in English literature and a minor in classics. He wrote his honors thesis on characterization in <a href="/wiki/John_Milton" title="John Milton">Milton</a>. After graduating, he attended <a href="/wiki/Cornell_University" title="Cornell University">Cornell University</a> from 1967 to 1971, receiving his <a href="/wiki/Master_of_Fine_Arts" title="Master of Fine Arts">MFA</a> in fiction writing and his PhD in prose fiction. After a year of working at Tompkins County Hospital (1972), he went on to teach as a professor at the <a href="/wiki/College_of_the_Ozarks" title="College of the Ozarks">School of the Ozarks</a> (1972–75), the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Idaho" title="University of Idaho">University of Idaho</a> (1975–82), and in the <a href="/wiki/Robert_D._Clark_Honors_College" class="mw-redirect" title="Robert D. Clark Honors College">Robert D. Clark Honors College</a> (1982–2016) of the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Oregon" title="University of Oregon">University of Oregon</a>, where he is currently an Emeritus Professor of Literature. </p><p>He has five novels: <i>Through Glass</i> (1979), The Lattice<i> (1986)</i>, <i>Umbrella of Glass</i> (1988), <i>Precincts of Light</i> (2010) and <i>Men Touching</i> (2019). Chelsea Station Editions published his short story collection, <i>The Dahlia Field</i> (2017). He is also author of the scholarly study, <i>The Quest for Anonymity: The Novels of George Eliot</i>, published by University of Delaware Press. His stories have appeared over the past forty years in such journals as <i>Seattle Review</i>, <i>Cimarron Review</i>, <i>Clackamas Literary Review</i>, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Virginia_Quarterly_Review" class="mw-redirect" title="The Virginia Quarterly Review">The Virginia Quarterly Review</a></i>, and <i>Harrington Gay Men's Quarterly Fiction</i>. Since 1978, his literary articles have been published in <i>The Journal of Narrative Technique</i>, <i>Studies in the Novel</i>, <i>Twentieth Century Literature</i>, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Kenyon_Review" title="The Kenyon Review">The Kenyon Review</a></i>, <i>Papers on Language and Literature</i> and others. </p><p>After <a href="/wiki/Coming_out" title="Coming out">coming out</a> in 1985, he slowly brought more and more gay themes into his work, which may be described as literary fiction and which emphasizes character and landscape. He is especially interested in people who are just getting on their feet, as well as the way a particular point of view may impinge on the outside world and alter its perceived textures. His separately published story, <i>Leonardo and I</i>, which won the 2006 <a href="/w/index.php?title=Gertrude_Press&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Gertrude Press (page does not exist)">Gertrude Press</a> Fiction Chapbook Competition, bears both of these interests out, showing a young man breaking free of <a href="/wiki/Sigmund_Freud" title="Sigmund Freud">Freudian</a> <a href="/wiki/Psychoanalysis" title="Psychoanalysis">psychoanalysis</a> in 1962 and affirming his true gay heritage found in the <a href="/wiki/Renaissance" title="Renaissance">Renaissance</a> artist <a href="/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci" title="Leonardo da Vinci">Leonardo da Vinci</a>. His political novel, <i>Precincts of Light</i>, dramatizes, in a story of five voices, a brother and sister, both newly out, recovering the lost affections of their children during Oregon's anti-gay Measure Nine crisis. The novel also celebrates Gay/Lesbian Liberation in richly poetic language. His ensuing short story collection, <i>The Dahlia Field</i> shows a variety of men coming to terms with their need to connect with one another. His new story, "Henry/Henrik," is a piece of historical fiction based on the love relation between the aging Henry James and the young sculptor Henrik Andersen. His ensuing <i>Men Touching</i>, another novel, is a study of a gay Vietnam vet who, in 1986, goes into recovery and forms a greater intimacy with his partner, Bart. It also involves a variety of points of view and has its moments of high lyricism. His most recent novel, <i>Galen's Legacy,</i> was published by Rattling Good Yarns Press, which offers a webpage with readings from the book. (See below under "References.") It is a close-up on a gay man, newly released from prison for a crime he did not commit, who is guided by the spirit of his beloved and departed gay uncle. In this book, the protagonist finds intimacy with a partner, and their union is blessed by the "presence" of the god Pluto when they take a trip with Galen's family to Holland. </p><p>Alley lives in
