About the book, Sena Jeter Naslund, author of AHAB’S WIFE, said “[My] life is variously enriched by reading Ned Bachus’s superb stories.” The recipient of two fellowships from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and two artist residencies at Ireland's Cill Rialaig Retreat, his 2017 book, OPEN ADMISSIONS: WHAT TEACHING AT COMMUNITY COLLEGE TAUGHT ME ABOUT LEARNING, was the product of his nearly four-decade career at Community College of Philadelphia, where he won multiple teaching awards.
