About Jonathan Bayliss

Jonathan Bayliss was an American novelist and playwright who lived and wrote in Gloucester, Massachusetts. He was a close friend of poet Charles Olson after Olson's return to Gloucester in the late 1950s. Correspondence between Bayliss and Olson from 1958 to January 1970 was published by the Cape Ann Museum. Bayliss's highly innovative and polymathic novels employ a vast vocabulary, contain mathematical and philosophical puzzles, and avoid pop culture references in favor of historical and mythological allusions. He wrote two plays loosely based on the Sumerian Gilgamesh epic, The Tower of Gilgamesh and The Acts of Gilgamesh.
