BIOGRAPHY
Susan Minot (b. 1956) was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and grew up in Manchester-by-the-Sea. She studied writing and painting at Brown University and received an MFA in writing from Columbia University. After publishing short stories in Grand Street and The New Yorker, she was offered a contract for a novel by the legendary publisher Seymour Lawrence, who published her next three books. His initial support for "a work of fiction" became Monkeys, nine stories that together make up a novel about the Vincents, a New England family of seven children with a Catholic mother and Brahmin-background father. Often labeled a minimalist, Minot gained popularity with her 1989 collection Lust and Other Stories. The title story, "Lust," has helped lead the way in the styling of modern American short fiction. Recently, Minot has stepped into a more public spotlight by writing the screenplay for Bernardo Bertolucci's 1996 film Stealing Beauty.
