David Maine was born in 1963 and grew up in Farmington, Connecticut. He attended Oberlin College and the University of Arizona, and worked in the mental health systems of Massachusetts and Arizona. He is married to novelist Uzma Aslam Khan, and since 1998 has lived in Lahore, Pakistan.
Written with a brilliant disregard for the reputations of both Samson and God, Maine delivers a blistering and provocative portrait of someone more akin to God's own gangster than God's gift to mankind . . . Suffused with sex and violence, as well as many of the trapping of the modern thriller, this is Bible-bothering at its best. * * Time Out * * In retelling the life of Samson - every Sunday school's favourite mass murderer - he could not have made a more appropriate choice for our age . . .By fleshing out the story on its own terms, he conveys the amplitude of its moral horror. * * Guardian * *
