Samuel M. Correa is an American born and raised in Oslo, Norway. As the son of American parents whose work moved them to Norway from New York, USA, from an early age he was exposed to great literature. His parents never missed an opportunity to develop in him an analytical penchant for viewing the world through film, literature, and the arts. A school writing assignment at the age of 14 so impressed one of his teachers, that her words encouraging him to become a writer stayed with him as unquestioningly as did his love for literature. “Saris” is his first novel.
