Daniel Mason is an American novelist and physician. He is the author of The Piano Tuner (2002), A Far Country (2007), and The Winter Soldier (2018).
Mason was raised in Palo Alto, California. He received a B.A. in biology from Harvard University and an M.D. from the UCSF School of Medicine. He spent a year studying malaria on the Thailand-Myanmar border, where much of The Piano Tuner was written. The novel later became the basis for a 2004 opera of the same name (composed by Nigel Osborne to a libretto by Amanda Holden).
Mason is currently a clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at Stanford University where he teaches courses in the humanities and medicine. He lives in the Bay Area with his family. (Adapted from the publishers and Wikipedia. Retrieved 9/28/2018.)
