Writing careerFictionAnastas started publishing his short fiction while a graduate student at the Iowa Writer's Workshop.[2] His first novel, An Underachiever's Diary, is a comic send-up of the meritocracy narrated by the underachieving half of a set of identical twins.[3] On the jacket of Anastas's second book, The Faithful Narrative of a Pastor's Disappearance: A Novel, Daniel Handler called it "hands down, the best novel of the year".[4] It concerns the life of a Congregational church in suburban Boston[5] and was a The New York Times Notable Book.[6] Journalism and other writingsAnastas's fiction, criticism, essays and journalism have appeared in Story, GQ, The Paris Review, The New Republic online,[7] The New York Observer,[8] The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, and Bookforum. In 2005, The Yale Review published his novella Versace Enthroned with Saints: Margaret, Jerome, Alex and the Angel Donatella[9] and later awarded it the Smart Family Foundation Prize for Fiction.[2] More recently, Anastas has published articles on the Mayan Calendar 2012 hoax in The New York Times Magazine,[10] the prosperity gospel in Harper's Magazine[11] and a short piece about his father's nude portrait on Granta MemoirHis memoir, Too Good To Be True, was published in 2012.[14][15] The title is taken from a sign that the author was made to wear around his neck by a childhood therapist.[16] It tells the story of his stalled career as a writer, the end of his marriage,[17] and his attempts to rebuild his life again.[18] Anastas published the book with Amazon's fledgling publishing imprint in New York City and numerous bookstores have refused to stock it.[17] Giles Harvey, writing in The New Yorker,[19] groups Too Good to Be True in a category he calls the "failure memoir"[20] and cites F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Crack-Up essays as an influence. Works
