Abe Streep

Abe Streep is the author of Brothers on Three. He works as a journalist for The New York Times Magazine. In the opening chapter of Part Two, Chapter 5, "Keep Up," Streep drives into Montana "on a reporting trip" (47). He is temporarily living in the state, a place he says that he "loved and thought [he] understood" (47). His reporting project begins as a stand-alone article on the Arlee Warriors basketball team.
