Autorenporträt
Matthew Hogan was born in Philadelphia and raised in an Irish family skilled in the art of brash pessimism. In the fall of 1992, Matt's eldest brother was involved in a head-on collision that took the life of the woman whose lane he veered into, a wife and mother of two. It was too much, even for brash pessimists, and the Hogan family fell apart. Matt gave up his pursuit of a career in writing and opted for a career in medicine after spending countless hours in the hospital where his brother recovered. He completed his internal medicine residency and moved on to a career in hospital medicine where he is now the Medical Director and Vice Chief of Staff at Emory Decatur Hospital. One fateful encounter with an author dying from cancer reignited his passion for writing, and after a few failed starts, including a science fiction novel called Mr. November that nobody read, he finally found his voice when the absurdities of the public's response to COVID forced him to remember that brash pessimism can be both entertaining and enlightening.
