Nicholas Papandreou was born in Berkeley, California, and spent much of his childhood in Greece. He studied economics at Yale (BA) and Princeton (Ph.D), and Creative Writing at the University of Vermont (MFA). After working for the World Bank in the 1990’s, he left to devote himself to writing. He was written nine books of fiction and non-fiction, and published many short stories and essays (Harvard Review, Antioch Review, Quarry...) Papandreou's first novel Father Dancing, An Invented Memoir, was published with Penguin in England, Kastaniotis in Greece (Bestseller), and then with St Martin’s/Picador in the USA under a different title, A Crowded Heart (shortlisted for the Los Angeles First Fiction Award). It was favorably reviewed among other by Gore Vidal, Christopher Hitchens and George Stephanopoulos, as well as the New Yorker, Washington Post, and Boston Book Review. He used the first chapter for the movie Little Greek Godfather (2007). His most recent work is titled The Magical Path to the Acropolis (2016). It examines the life of the eccentric landscape artist Dimitris Pikionis who in the mid-fifties singlehandedly carved the stone paths leading up to the ancient monument. His work has been translated into many languages, some of which are English, Greek, Arabic, German, Dutch and French. Most recently (2017), his short story The Influence of the Sixties on the Seventies appeared in AGNI (Fall) and his essay on Plato appeared in the Threepenny Review (Summer). He now lives in Athens, Greece, and writes full-time.
