Andrew Sean Greer (born November 1970) is an American novelist and short story writer.[1] Greer received the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for his novel Less.

He is the author of The Story of a Marriage, which The New York Times has called an “inspired, lyrical novel,” and The Confessions of Max Tivoli, which was named one of the best books of 2004 by the San Francisco Chronicle[2] and received a California Book Award.[3]

Biography

Andrew Sean Greer was born in November 1970, in Washington, D.C., the child of two scientists.[4] He grew up in Rockville, Maryland. He is an identical twin. He graduated from Georgetown Day School, and Brown University, where he studied with Robert Coover and Edmund White, and served as commencement speaker.[5] He lives part time in Italy. [6]

He is the author of six works of fiction.[7] Greer taught at Freie Universität Berlin[8] and the Iowa Writers Workshop.[9] He was a finalist for the Premio von Rezzori for a work translated into Italian,[10] as well as a Today Show pick,[11] a New York Public Library Cullman Center Fellow,[12] and NEA Fellow,[13] and a judge for the National Book Award.[14]

Work

His stories have appeared in Esquire, The Paris Review, The New Yorker and other national publications, and have been anthologized most recently in The Book of Other People, and The PEN/O. Henry Prize Stories 2009.

His third book, The Confessions of Max Tivoli, was released in 2004; a New Yorker piece by John Updike called it “enchanting, in the perfumed, dandified style of disenchantment brought to grandeur by Proust and Nabokov.”[15] Mitch Albom then chose The Confessions of Max Tivoli for the Today Show Book Club and it soon became a bestseller.[16] The story of a man aging backwards, it was inspired by the Bob Dylan song "My Back Pages." Though similar in theme, it is related neither to the Fitzgerald short story nor the film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Greer's fourth book The Story of a Marriage was published in 2008.[17] The New York Times said of it: "Mr. Greer seamlessly choreographs an intricate narrative that speaks authentically to the longings and desires of his characters. All the while he never strays from the convincing and steady voice of Pearlie."[18] The Washington Post called it "thoughtful, complex and exquisitely written."[19]

The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells was published in June 2013.[20]

His novel Less was published in 2017 [21] and received the 2018 Pulitzer Prize.
