  <about><![CDATA[Greg Stekelman was born in London in 1975. In 2001 he started a website, themanwhofellasleep.com, which proved very succesful. In 2006 he published his first novel, A Year in the Life of TheManWhoFellAsleep. 

Time Out London called it &quot;odd, excellent, fantastical diary offers a curious combination of dreams, London and deadpan humour, all wrapped in up in a quasi-fictional journal with funny illustrations.&quot;

Vice Magazine said of it: &quot;...one of the most imaginative and enjoyable diaries published since Brian Eno's A Year with Swollen Appendices&quot; and described Stekelman as a &quot;Woody Allen for the Ipod generation&quot;.

Zoo Magazine described it as a &quot;surreal, morbidly entertaining novel written as a diary&quot;.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Borges, Martin Amis, Alexei Sayle, Kurt Vonnegut, Alan Moore, Grant Morrisson.]]></influences>    <hometown>London</hometown>  <born_at>02/12/1975</born_at>
