Mr. Gustafson, a self-described neo-renaissance man and a former resident of the Somerset Hills, is a writer, lecturer, intrepid world traveler, photographer and bon vivant. For the past decade, he has focused on writing about travel, particularly in India where he spends three to five months annually.
Music Critic Michael Redmond wrote of "Last Guy Waltzing," "If life is an opera, then Eric Gustafson hits all the high notes. He designs the sets and costumes, too, and assembles an all-star cast from across the panorama a modern life. He's offering readers one of the best seats in the house. A fascinating memoir by a fascinating man."
Born in New York City, Mr. Gustafson now resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Until his move to “The Land of Enchantment” in 2006, he was Founding Director of Apollo Muses Center for the Arts in central New Jersey. His arts festival flourished for 22 years, producing more than 200 classical music concerts as well as diverse cultural events. He also wrote travel articles for the 17 newspapers owned by Recorder Publishing in New Jersey from 2000 to the present. In 1998, his autobiography "Cinderella Is a Man," was published. This took the author on the road internationally to promote the book.
