Markus Zusak is an Australian novelist born in Sydney in 1975 to German and Austrian immigrant parents, which grounded his knowledge of wartime Germany. He published four young adult novels before The Book Thief, which became an international phenomenon after its 2005 publication in Australia and 2006 release in the United States. It spent more than a decade on the New York Times bestseller list. His 2018 follow-up, Bridge of Clay, was another multigenerational family narrative. Zusak is known for maximalist prose and structural experimentation within accessible storytelling.
