DSH is an award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and novelist. Born and raised in OKC, he lost the tip of a finger in a chop-saw incident somewhere in Chicago.
He makes a mean old-fashioned and the best ribs on the block. He currently lives with his wife and son and dog and chickens and a dozen typewriters in a valley between the ocean, the mountains, and the desert.
He loves you very much. Let's start there.
New works include: The literary satire THE FOUNTAIN from Whisk(ey) Tit Press out March 2022.
"A passionate meditation on art wrapped in a hilarious sendup of artistic pretensions." – KIRKUS (starred review)
“The Fountain is a mad dash, meta and epic and loud. Hay shreds fine art culture and all its pretensions, sounding the call for true artists to do the very thing they were born to do: Create.” – Damien Roos, [PANK] Magazine
“The Fountain is a meaty, sprawling, delightfully kooky, delightfully astute 447-page novel that is certainly a work of art.” – Patrick T. Reardon, Third Coast Review
"Throughout The Fountain, David Scott Hay combines black humor, compelling characters, and zany antics to create brilliant and brutal critiques of the machinations fueling the art world.
From creators, critics, and curators to museums, mentors, and art fans, everyone falls prey to the book’s withering, Medusa-like gaze. No one holds the moral high ground, and I loved not being able to discern if there is a traditional protagonist amidst all the sniping, backbiting, and vitriol.
All told, the book delivers a gleeful, sprawling reading experience. Especially if you’re burned out by high-falutin’ conversations about the intersections of art, creation, and criticism." – Adam P. Newton (Bearded Gentlemen
Music)
"DSH's writing is witty, smart, and precise." – Chicago Sun-Times
Coming Spring 23: NSFW, a literary satire. Stay tuned.
