Bart A. Charlow is an author, consultant, and retired therapist whose writing explores the intricate intersections of memory, legacy, and the human heart. With over 45 years as a visual artist and photographer, Bart brings a painterly eye to his prose, capturing the atmospheric beauty and lingering shadows of the people and places that shape us. Born into the carnival life of a Borscht Belt Catskills hotel family, he has never let the ordinary constrain him. His first book, A Catskill Carnival: My Borscht Belt Life Lived, Lost and Loved, is a memoir of his early years in a unique setting, coming to terms with it and cherishing its life lessons. Pickle Barrel Tales: More Borscht Belt BS is the companion book of over 50 wry vignettes from several “mountain rats”. A true son of the Catskills, Bart’s deep connection to the "Borscht Belt" era serves as the foundation for his storytelling. His novels delve into the complex emotional landscapes of mature characters, often focusing on the ways the past refuses to stay buried and how new love must contend with old ghosts. Whether through a camera lens, a paintbrush, or the written word, Bart is dedicated to capturing the "circus of memories" that defines the mature experience. He writes a regular column, “Bart on Art”, for The San Mateo Daily Journal. Bart has been a favored speaker on TV, radio and in print media for decades and is recognized for his service in the US Congressional Record. Among honors he holds is the Jefferson Award for his community leadership and service. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife, grown children and grandchildren.
