Lisa Genova graduated valedictorian, summa cum laude from Bates College with a degree in Biopsychology and has a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Harvard University.

​

Acclaimed as the Oliver Sacks of fiction and the Michael Crichton of brain science, Lisa has captured a special place in contemporary fiction, writing stories that are equally inspired by neurological conditions and our shared human condition. She is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels STILL ALICE, LEFT NEGLECTED, LOVE ANTHONY, and INSIDE THE O'BRIENS. 

​

Her first work of nonfiction, REMEMBER: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting was an instant New York Times bestseller.

​​

Her newest novel, MORE OR LESS MADDY, was a national bestseller and hit #1 on the bestseller list in Canada.

​

STILL ALICE spent 59 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and has been translated into 37 languages. It was adapted into an Oscar-winning film starring Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin, Kristen Stewart, and Kate Bosworth. Film adaptations for INSIDE THE O'BRIENS, EVERY NOTE PLAYED, LEFT NEGLECTED, and MORE OR LESS MADDY are in development.

​

STILL ALICE was adapted for the stage by Christine Mary Dunford and premiered at the Lookingglass Theatre in Chicago in April 2013. It has since toured worldwide.
