Robert Kurson is probably best known for his 2004 book titled "Shadow Divers", a factual retelling of an amazing underwater discovery (in 1991); a German U-boat that had been sunk just 60 miles off the coast of New Jersey, USA, 50 years prior.[1] [2] His first venture into the writing world was when he was hired by the Chicago Sun-Times as a data entry clerk, a position which led to a full-time features writing job. In 2000, Esquire published “My Favorite Teacher,” his first magazine story, which became a finalist for a National Magazine Award. He moved from the Sun-Times to Chicago magazine, then to Esquire, where he is a contributing editor. His stories have appeared in Rolling Stone, The New York Times Magazine, and other publications.[3]
