Vincent Valk is a freelance writer, Gelf contributor, and sometime test-prep tutor. He lives in Chicago, and blogs as
The Pessimist. He graduated from Hunter College in 2006, where he became his dorm room's foremost authority on the art of writing a 10-page paper without really saying anything at all (he also published some articles for
The Word). His favorite sport is baseball, but don't ask for his favorite color—he's kind of colorblind. He can name all the US Presidents in order, though.
