After a brief career in television comedy, Daniel Klein began writing books, ranging from thrillers and mysteries to humorous books about philosophy, including the New York Times bestseller Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar—Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes (with Thomas Cathcart). Klein is the author of the London Times bestseller, Travels With Epicurus, and, coming out this autumn, Every Time I Find the Meaning of Life, They Change It.
Klein is married to Freke Vuijst, American correspondent for the Dutch newsweekly, Vrij Nederland. In rare moments of honesty, Klein admits that Cathcart is way smarter than he is.
