Greer's "The Confessions of Max Tivoli," was named a best book of 2004 by the San Francisco Chronicle and the Chicago Tribune - while his latest book "The Story of a Marriage" has been described by The New York Times as ascending to the heights of masters.

Andrew Greer initially studied writing at Brown University, and later worked in various jobs in New York before completing his studies at the University of Montana. His first novel," The Path of Minor Planets," was published in 2001. His short story collection, “How It Was for Me,” was published to wide acclaim, while other stories have appeared in publications including Esquire, The Paris Review and The New Yorker.

In this week’s Inspired Minds, Andrew Greer talks to Breandáin O’Shea about how his latest book,“ The Story of a Marriage” was inspired by his late grandmother, how he went about researching San Francisco of the 1950s and his life today, in Obama's USA.
