David Halperin

David Halperin was once a teenage UFO investigator. Later he became professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill—his specialty, religious traditions of heavenly ascent. Journal of a UFO Investigator (Viking Press, Feb. 2011) is his first novel. Publishers Weekly called the book “gripping” and “heartbreaking”; Entertainment Weekly, “an imaginative tale about an equally imaginative protagonist.” See David’s website here.
