In his introduction, Thorne Compton writes that \"In Jon Tuttle's world life is a confusing pile of colorful chips from a kaleidoscope that has long been smashed,\" and that \"the fact that life is absurd and usually ends badly does not make it any less valuable ...\" From \u003cem\u003eThe Hammerstone\u003c\/em\u003e, which won the Trustus Playwright's Festival in 1994 before it went on to be performed in 17 states, to 2018's evocative \u003cem\u003eBoy About Ten\u003c\/em\u003e, Tuttle allows us to peek into the miracles and mundaneness of his characters, many of whose lack of adherence to normalcy is the most normal thing about them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJon Tuttle is Professor of English, Director of University Honors, the Nellie Cooke Sparrow Writer-in-Residence, a J.
