Steven Galloway was born in Vancouver in 1975. He is the author of three prestigious novels including The Cellist of Sarajevo, which was longlisted for the 2012 IMPAC Dublin literary Award and has been translated into numerous languages.
'A brilliant novel, and one that virtually demands multiple readings to pick up all the subtleties (especially concerning the end of the book, and enough said about that).' starred review Booklist 'Clever and entertaining, The Confabulist is a novel that takes great joy in exploring the art of illusion, saving its final trick to play on its readers.' -- Hoopla 'Like a good magic trick, The Confabulist is so cleverly constructed that Galloway leaves you wondering: How did he do it?...It's a beautifully wrought novel about the grip of illusion and the way we tell ourselves stories to seek redemption, or forgiveness at the very least.' Washington Post '[Galloway's] explorations of the relationships between truth and illusion, fiction and reality, need and conscience are stimulating and affecting...An entertaining fictional reflection on the 20th century's most famous magician.' Kirkus Reviews 'A thoughtful, intriguing book and certainly not all smoke and mirrors.' Otago Daily Times 'Astonishing, intriguing and marvellous.' Good Reading
