Bruno Maddox is one of the most popular and richest Novelist who was born on November 15, 1969 in London, England, United Kingdom. Maddox was born in London in 1969. He was the son of the his father, who was the former Nature editor Sir John Maddox, a writer on nature and science, along with Brenda Maddox, a biographer of Rosalind Franklin, W. B. Yeats, Nora Barnacle and numerous other authors. Maddox has one older sister named Bronwen Maddox who worked as a journalist and was the Chief Foreign Commentator at The Times and Editor of Prospect magazine. She is now director of the Institute for Government. Maddox had a rich and privileged life throughout his youth and childhood due to his father’s role in the role of editor for Nature as well as meeting some of the most prominent modern scientists and having dinners with famous figures like James Watson and Sir Fred Hoyle.

Despite his family’s experience in sciences, Maddox was interested in the humanities during his time at Westminster School, an independent boys’ college in London. Maddox was able to pursue a degree in English writing in Harvard University and graduated in 1992. Maddox published only one article in the student journal The Harvard Crimson during his senior year. He was awarded the Thomas Temple Hoopes Prize in His senior dissertation “on the use of adjectives in restaurant menus” entitled Maltese and a Gastrosophic theory of Reading. Following graduation, Maddox relocated from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Moscow where he spent three weeks as an editor in English for a Russian magazine. Then he moved on to New York City, where the two years he was employed at odd jobs, like the delivery of invitations from celebrities to local events.

Maddox’s freelance writing career began in 1994, when he became a book reviewer for The New York Times Book Review and The Washington Post, where he developed a reputation for writing scathing reviews that would later help him land a job as an editor at Spy magazine. Maddox described his book reviewing style as “pretty vicious”, and quipped that he “was a frustrated, twenty- something guy, sitting in his bedroom venting existential rage on these nasty academics”. His last book review for The Washington Post was in late 1996; however, he continued reviewing for The New York Times up until 1998, contributing only a couple of reviews thereafter.

In mid-1996, Maddox was hired as a senior editor at Spy magazine, a satirical monthly, in New York City. Spy had ceased publication in 1994 but was quickly resuscitated under new ownership by Sussex Publishers Inc., which reduced the magazine’s frequency from ten to six issues a year. At Spy, Maddox was assisted by deputy editor Adam Lehner, a satirist. In December 1996, Maddox was promoted to editor-in-chief; his editorial team included Jared Paul Stern and, beginning in late 1997, future screenwriter William Monahan.

in an interview Maddox was a fan of Bret Easton Ellis’s novel from 1991, American Psycho, stating that the novel’s Patrick Bateman’s long-winded monologues on Phil Collins, restaurants, clothes, and the best way to get blood off his carpets.

Bruno P. Maddox (born 1969) is a British writer, journalist and literary novelist who is most well-known by his book My Little Blue Dress (2001) as well as his satirical magazine articles.

Maddox would like to make Spy into a magazine that was aimed at the national market instead of building on its tradition of covering stories centered around New York. According to Maddox two motives drove the change in the market it was targeting. The magazine’s previous subjects of satire “cheesy villains who anointed themselves as targets” in the 1980s, no longer appeared appearing on the national stage. The “sins of the ’90s [were] those of a private, quiet cultivation of a sense of purity”, and were much more difficult to be exposed or mocked.

After graduating from Harvard University in 1992, Maddox began his career reviewing books for The New York Times Book Review and The Washington Post Book World. In early 1996, he was appointed to an editorship at Spy magazine and within a few months he was promoted to editor-in-chief, a position he held until the magazine shut down in 1998. Maddox wrote My Little Blue Dress between 1999 and 2001. Since its publication, he has focused on writing satirical essays for magazines such as GEAR and Travel + Leisure; he also contributes a monthly humor column to Discover magazine called “Blinded by Science”, drawing on his early exposure to science and technology. Maddox is likewise a contributing editor to the American edition of The Week magazine.
