Life
Steinhauer was born in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, and grew up in Virginia. He attended university at Lock Haven, Pennsylvania and The University of Texas, Austin. He received an MFA in Creative Writing at Emerson College in Boston.
After graduation, Steinhauer received a yearlong Fulbright grant to write a novel in Romania, about their 1989 revolution. It was called Tzara's Monocle, and when he moved to New York City afterward, he used that manuscript to secure a literary agent. However, it was with another book, the historical mystery set in Eastern Europe, The Bridge of Sighs, that Steinhauer first found publication.
His 2009 CIA novel, The Tourist, received positive reviews and is being developed for a film by George Clooney. A 2010 follow-up, The Nearest Exit has also been positively reviewed.[1]
Since 2003, he has lived in Budapest, Hungary. During the winter of 2009/10, Steinhauer was the Picador Guest Professor for Literature[2] at the University of Leipzig's Institute for American Studies in Leipzig, Germany.
He has two siblings, a brother Ian, and a sister, Katrina.
