Russ Madison
Russ Madison is an author from Woodbridge, CT. His first novel, Victory Among the Insane, from Grove Press, received national critical acclaim.[1][2][3] He has contributed to the literary magazine Evergreen Review.[4]
Madison was awarded the national Ruth Stone Poetry Prize from the Vermont College of Fine Arts.[1] He worked for a month at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Mass. on a fellowship from Califomia's Lannan Foundation.[5]
His archives at Boston University include correspondence with the former poet laureate, Donald Hall of Hamden, CT, and Norman Mailer.[1]
Madison has written some of his eight books on cement beds, and more recently has written novels on rolls of paper towels scrolled through electric typewriters.[1][6][5] According to Madison, "I was a laborer for lots of years, and this is simply like manual labor, it looks like an assembly line, and it just works for me."[5] During his stay in Provincetown he wrote 600 feet in 30 days and met Norman Mailer, commenting that "He seems to like [the book] so far. I've never thoroughly interviewed him, but he's nuts himself, so it fits right in."[5]
In 1977, Madison was appointed senior vice president/creative director of the advertising agency Langeler-Mason (now Mason, Inc.) of Bethany, CT.[7] He helped run Mason & Madison before opening Lone Wolf Advertising in Woodbridge, CT, along with his Art Director wife Gi.[1][8][9][10] He has contributed articles such as American Advertising 'Creativity': The Great Fraud of the 1980s to the publication Back Stage.[11]
