Short Bio:Lauren Oliver comes from a family of writers and so has always (mistakenly) believed that spending hours in front of the computer every day, mulling over the difference between “chortling” and “chuckling,” is normal. She has always been an avid reader.
She attended the University of Chicago, where she continued to be as impractical as possible by majoring in philosophy and literature. After college, she attended the MFA program at NYU and worked briefly as the world’s worst editorial assistant, and only marginally better assistant editor, at a major publishing house in New York. Her major career contributions during this time were flouting the corporate dress code at every possible turn and repeatedly breaking the printer. Before I Fall is her first published novel.
Reviews: “I read through the majority of Delirium while simultaneously asking myself if there was anything more beautiful than Lauren Oliver's words….” “For me, Lauren Oliver can do no wrong. As long as she keeps writing with the same haunting, poetic prose, I will keep reading. I foresee myself buying her books for a very, very long time to come.” –
‘Delirium’ Review
http://www.wondrousreads.com/2011/03/review-delirium-by-lauren-oliver.html“Oliver’s debut novel is raw, emotional, and, at times, beautiful....readers will love Samantha best as she hurtles toward an end as brave as it is heartbreaking.” -
