ⓘ About Andrew Holleran
In 1965, he got his bachelor’s degree in English from Harvard and proceeded to the Iowa Writers Workshop since he was terrified of going to law school right away. Some of his teachers at the Workshop included Jose Donoso and Kurt Vonnegut, even as he made friends with Robert Ferro a fellow student. Even though he never published anything during his time in Iowa, he graduated with an MA and an MFA from the Workshop. Whenever he was not looking for sex, at the gym, dancing, or partying, he was usually at home in an apartment full of roaches, or out working as a typist or bartender. During this time, he continued writing, thinking that the success he had with the New Yorker would keep on repeating itself. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Standalone Novels series, Andrew Holleran has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
