Wally Rudolph is a multidisciplinary artist and novelist based in Los Angeles. He is the author of the literary novels Four Corners and Mighty, Mighty (Counterpoint/Soft Skull). His fiction has appeared in Palooka, Lines+Stars, Milk Money, The Brooklyner, Invisible City, and in anthologies from Prospect Park Books and Brick Moon Fiction.

Rudolph's work explores identity, inheritance, power, and the unseen forces shaping ordinary lives, often moving between realism and the surreal. His visual practice, Symbolic Feedback, works with marks and negative space to translate grace in the tradition of prayer, lament, and praise song.

He teaches novel writing at UCLA and Stanford, where he develops process-driven curricula centered on voice, structure, and cultural memory. He created the Voices of Color Workshop at UCLA, a course dedicated to helping writers of color articulate their communities' values in their own words.

Born in Canada to Jamaican immigrants and raised in Texas, Rudolph has lived throughout North America. He now resides in Los Angeles with his son, Redd.
