Some more about Jim (most of it is true)
FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hollywood -
James C. Lee, the youngest novelist to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize at age 17, is
currently residing in California and is seeking employment, or at least, a gig that
pays...
Lee was the
recipient of the 1989 Pulitzer Prize for his novel, Harry the Happy
Hairdresser. Prior to writing fiction
he worked as a broadcast journalist during the early 1980s. His interview subjects included former Presidents
Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and the ever popular, Kermit the Frog.
A New Jersey
native for over 15 years, Lee now resides in San Gabriel, California. Most recently, Lee returned to broadcast
journalism and worked for International Community Radio Taipei (ICRT), where he was the
morning news producer for the islands only English language radio station.
Lee wrote,
edited and produced an hour-long news show, which later became the two-hour long
morning edition. On that show he taught a 5-minute segment on useful,
Chinese words for the day.
He was the
colorman for Taiwan Baseballs game of the week and his crowning moment came when he
single handedly anchored the Hong Kong takeover from China in 1997.
Lee returned
to the U.S. in 1999 because, it was simply time to move on to better things. He says he hopes one of those things
is stand up comedy and is currently studying under the tutelage of L.A. Superbowl of
Comedy Winner Bobbie Oliver.
He has
appeared at the City of Hope, The Comedy Store, Pasadena
Ice House and countless other charities and coffee houses. Lee most recently qualified to be one of the eight
finalists for the August 4, 2004 and March 2, 2005 Uncle Clydes comedy contest in
Pasadena. .
