ⓘ About David Szalay

David Szalay is an English published author of fictional novels. David was born January 1, 1974 is Canada. His family would move to London in 1975. They insisted that the arrangement would be temporary, however, David still resides there. He enrolled in Oxford University, where he graduated with an English degree. Besides novel writing, he has tried a variety of other things, including being a film maker. However, his debut movie The Old Soldier did not get the reviews that he wanted, and was hailed as ‘the worst film ever made’. He also tried his hand at photography, but his only paid assignment was to shoot a wedding, where the couple eventually divorced (unrelated to his photography skills, it should be noted).
