THOMAS GLAVINIC IS CONSIDERED one of the guiding voices in Austrian literature. Born in 1972, he is the author of several novels, as well as a number of essays and short stories. His work has garnered both critical acclaim and commercial success and has been translated into sixteen languages. Glavinic worked as an advertising copywriter and taxi driver before releasing his debut novel, Carl Haffner’s Love of the Draw, in 1998. The Camera Killer is his third book to be published in English. It was awarded the 2002 Friedrich-Glauser Prize for crime fiction and has been adapted for the screen. Glavinic was short-listed for the German Book Prize in 2007, and his How to Live, forthcoming from AmazonCrossing, reached #1 on the Austrian best-seller list.
