Gabe Rotter is an American novelist, author of Simon & Schuster's "Duck Duck Wally" and "The Human Bobby." Rotter grew up on Long Island, New York, attended Syosset High School, and earned a film degree from the University of Southern California. Rotter began his career as a production assistant and later the writers' assistant on the popular paranormal television show "The X-Files," working under series creator Chris Carter. When the television series ended, Rotter wrote his first novel, Duck Duck Wally, which was published in 2008 by Simon & Schuster. "...pays entertaining dividends in this slapstick send-up of show business in general and hip-hop in particular,? commented a Kirkus Reviews critic. The novel?s protagonist is Wally Moscowitz, a self-described frumpy, chubby Jewish man in his thirties, whose day job is a big secret: he is ghostwriter for the world's most infamous gangsta rapper, Oral B. A Publishers Weekly reviewer noted that ?Rotter?s a talented writer,? while the Kirkus Reviews critic called the book a novel for readers who possess ?no aversion to... satire or affinity for political correctness.? Booklist called the book "Clever and funny."
