Meredith Maran Biography

Meredith Maran is one of the most popular and richest Novelist who was born on August 21, 1951 in New York, United States. Meredith Maran, a journalist, book critic and author, was born in New York in 1951. Twelve nonfiction books have been published, including several San Francisco Chronicle bestsellers. She also wrote a first novel. She has written features, essays, reviews, and articles for People, More, Good Housekeeping, Salon.com, The Chicago Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Boston Globe, and Salon.com.

Maran’s book Class Dismissed was published by St. Martin’s Press 2000. It describes the realities of public education through the year of three Berkeley High seniors. The book was well-received by critics, and spent 15 weeks at the top of the San Francisco Chronicle bestsellers list.

From 2004-2006 Maran was Writer in Residence at UCLA. In 2006 she was Writer in Residence at the Mabel Dodge Luhan House in Taos.

In an interview with TIME.com, Maran explained how and why she decided to write her memoir, My Lie. She explained that in 2007, a hiking acquaintance had asked if she had ever done anything she still regretted. Maran replied that she had accused her father of molesting her, and hadn’t spoken to him for eight years. Maran [later] realized that the accusation wasn’t true. Maran’s hiking acquaintance said that exactly the same thing had happened to her. That prompted Maran to address the examples and abuses that included false accounts—and the pain and suffering inflicted on people who were innocent like her father—in order to answer the question: “How could it happen that people who never suffered such harrowing experiences would come to believe that they had?”
