1967

David Elliot Grann (born March 10, 1967) is an American journalist, a staff writer for The New Yorker, and author.

Grann was born on March 10, 1967, to Phyllis E. Grann and Victor Grann.

He received a master's degree in international relations from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University in 1993.

At that point primarily interested in fiction, Grann hoped to develop a career as a novelist.

1994

In 1994 he was hired as a copy editor at The Hill, a Washington, D.C.-based newspaper covering the United States Congress.

The same year, Grann earned a master's degree in creative writing from Boston University, where he taught courses in creative writing and fiction.

1995

He was named The Hill's executive editor in 1995.

1996

In 1996, Grann became a senior editor at The New Republic.

2001

Grann's articles have been collected in several anthologies, including What We Saw: The Events of September 11, 2001, The Best American Crime Writing of 2004 and 2005, and The Best American Sports Writing of 2003 and 2006.

He has written for The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The Weekly Standard.

According to a profile in Slate, Grann has a reputation as a "workhorse reporter", which has made him a popular journalist who "inspires a devotion in readers that can border on the obsessive."

His first book, The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon, was published by Doubleday in February 2009.

After its first week of publication, it debuted on The New York Times bestseller list at #4 and later reached #1.

In 2009, he received both the George Polk Award and Sigma Delta Chi Award for his New Yorker piece "Trial By Fire", about Cameron Todd Willingham.

Another New Yorker investigative article, "The Mark of a Masterpiece", raised questions about the methods of Peter Paul Biro, who claimed to use fingerprints to help authenticate lost masterpieces.

Biro sued Grann and The New Yorker for libel, but the case was summarily dismissed.

Grann's 2009 non-fiction book The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon recounts the odyssey of the notable British explorer, Captain Percy Fawcett who, in 1925, disappeared with his son in the Amazon while looking for the Lost City of Z.

For decades, explorers and scientists have tried to find evidence of both his party and the Lost City of Z. Grann also trekked into the Amazon.

It debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestseller list and stayed on the list for 26 weeks.

A reviewer in The Guardian wrote, “The Wager is one of the finest nonfiction books I've ever read.
