About the Author

Mark Greif is a distinguished literary critic, essayist, and professor whose work bridges philosophy, literature, and cultural history. Born in 1969, he earned his PhD from Harvard University and has taught at institutions including the New School and Stanford, where he explores the intersections of thought and narrative in modern America. Greif co-founded the influential literary journal n+1, contributing incisive essays on politics, art, and society that challenge conventional wisdom. His scholarship delves into the intellectual currents shaping 20th-century fiction, examining how crises of humanism influenced American writers from the Great Depression to the turbulent 1970s. With a keen eye for the philosophical underpinnings of storytelling, Greif's writing illuminates the enduring questions of identity, morality, and progress in an era of profound upheaval.
