- Birth namePaul Frederick Kluge
- P.F. Kluge was born on January 24, 1942 in New Jersey, USA. He is a writer, known for Dog Day Afternoon (1975), Eddie and the Cruisers (1983) and Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives! (1989). He is married to Pamela Hollie.
- SpousePamela Hollie(? - present)
- P. F. Kluge is the author of the magazine article on which "Dog Day Afternoon" is based. He is also the author of the novel "Eddie and the Cruisers" on which that film is based.
- Known as Fred, Kluge is a graduate of, and now teacher at, Kenyon College, Ohio.
- He spent two years in the Peace Corps in Micronesia's Saipan, 1967-1969.
- Served in 1967 as Lee Marvin's guide on the island of Saipan (where Marvin had been wounded as a Marine during the second World War). The experience with Marvin, and the stories that the actor told, inspired P. F. Kluge to write his suspense novel "The Day That I Die." The book was later optioned by director Robert Aldrich.
- Contributing Editor of National Geographic Traveler, and Writer-in Residence at Kenyon College.
- The novel and the film have been described as a rock and roll Citizen Kane. To this, I do not object. The first 'Eddie And The Cruisers' was directed by Martin Davidson. The sequel, 'Eddie Lives,' is a talent-free embarrassment.
