Fiona Maazel
Fiona Maazel (born 1975, Cleveland) is a writer and freelance editor. Her work has appeared in publications including The New York Times Book Review, The New York Times, Tin House, Bomb, Fence, The Mississippi Review, Conjunctions, The Common, The Yale Review, Anthem, The Village Voice, N+1, and on salon.com.
She is a 2008 National Book Foundation "5 Under 35" honoree, winner of the Bard Fiction Prize for 2009, and in 2005 she was awarded a Lannan Literary Fellowship.
Maazel's first novel, Last Last Chance, was published in March 2008 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. It tells the story of Lucy Clark, a drug addict with a complicated family and a difficult life. The New York Times said of the book: "'Last Last Chance' isn't your average novel, thanks in no small part to Maazel's funny, lacerating prose."
Her new novel, Woke Up Lonely, will publish from Graywolf Press in the spring of 2013. The novel's about a cult leader, his ex-wife, and the four people he takes hostage. The author hopes it's funny and sad and all that good stuff.
Her father is conductor Lorin Maazel. Her mother is Israela Margalit, a pianist and script writer.
Maazel lives in Brooklyn. She teaches at New York University and Brooklyn College.
