David Benioff was born and raised in New York City. He adapted his
first novel, The 25th Hour, into the feature film directed by Spike
Lee. With many other screenplays to his credit, he is also the
writer of the films, "Brothers" and "X-Men Origins: Wolverine".
Stories from his critically acclaimed collection When the Nines
Roll Over appeared in Best New American Voices and The Best
Nonrequired American Reading. His latest novel is City of Thieves.
He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and daughter where he is a
co-creator and writer for the HBO hit series "Game of
Thrones."
"Benioff writes against the clock with a kind of muscular,
young-dude swagger, and his portrait of pre-9/11 New York feels
like a snapshot of a lost city, full of sticky-floored bodegas and
silent, snow-crusted streets. " -- The New York Times

“Tight and crisp . . . . The 25th Hour shines. It couldn't get much
better.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
“Remarkable . . . A darkly human novel that ends up more about hope
than about cynicism.”
—The Denver Post
