About the author
Martin Myers
6 books6 followersUp to this point, I’ve written five multi-genre, comically philosophical novels, The Assignment, Frigate, Izzy Manheim’s Reunion, The Secret Viking and my latest, The NeverMind of Brian Hildebrand. I also take full blame for The Urban Loft, a renovator-in-the-wry memoir masquerading as a coffee table book.
My fiction has won wide praise in the media and in literary publications in Canada, the U.S and the U.K. The popular press compares my work to the efforts of Mel Brooks, Monty Python and the Marx Brothers, while literary critics rank it with “Kafka, Joyce, Elliot, Barthelme, Nabokov and Borges for scathing inventiveness that makes readers laugh out loud and then in an afterthought of conscience, question their own ethics, morals and reality.”
I graduated from the University of Toronto and 18 years later, post-graduated from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, where my thesis became my first novel. For a couple of years, I was a Visiting Associate Professor at the University of Toronto and also taught for five years in writing workshops at the U of T and York University, where I learned more than my students. But this may be apocryphal.
