Information About

Mark Leyner




Leyner employs an intense and unconventional style in his works of .

Leyner has also worked as a columnist for magazines Esquire and George , and as a writer for the MTV program Liquid Television . He also co-wrote and voiced a short-lived series of audio fiction called ''Wiretap''.

Leyner is most famously critiqued (in an essay that simultaneously derides and champions him) by fellow postmodernist, David Foster Wallace . Despite this and appearances on David Letterman , Leyner remains a cult figure, though this may change as he switches over to the higher profile world of television development. (He has not written any novels for quite some time, presumably in order to devote more time to this new media.)
