ANDREW SEAN GREER

'Andrew Sean Greer' is an American novelist and short story writer.
He was born in Washington, DC, the son of two scientists. He studied writing at Brown University, where he was the Commencement Speaker at his own graduation. He received his MFA from the University of Montana, and soon after moved to San Francisco and began to publish in magazines such as ''Esquire'', ''The Paris Review'' and ''The New Yorker'' before releasing a collection of his stories, ''How It Was for Me''.
His first novel, ''The Path of Minor Planets'', was published to much acclaim in 2001, and his second book, ''The Confessions of Max Tivoli'', came out in 2004. John Updike first put this novel on the literary map when, in the pages of ''The New Yorker'', he called it "enchanting, in the perfumed, dandified style of disenchantment brought to grandeur by Proust and Nabokov." Mitch Albom then chose Max for the Today Show Book Club and it soon became a national bestseller. Mr. Greer is the recipient of the Northern California Book Award, the California Book Award, the New York Public Library Young Lions Award, and a Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. He currently lives in San Francisco.
