Douglas Anthony Cooper (born 1960 in Toronto) is a Writer who lives in Manhattan. In 1994, he became the first novelist to serialize a novel on the World Wide Web ( Delirium , which was published in book form in 1998). His novels are considered characteristic examples of metafiction. While he is sometimes classed with Southern Ontario Gothic, Cooper is more often compared to metaphysical novelists like Italo Calvino and Vladimir Nabokov. Cooper did graduate work in philosophy, as well as a short stint as an architecture student, and his novels address architectural themes, often from a theoretical perspective. Cooper has also written and photographed feature stories for newspapers and magazines, primarily on subjects related to travel, and he was the recipient of the 2003 Lowell Thomas Gold Medal from the Society of American Travel Writers.

During the nineties, Douglas Cooper became involved in and painting, considering them in essence a single art form. It is an irony that his novels are perhaps best known to artists and architects.
