Paul Neilan is an American novelist, writer of Apathy and Other Small Victories.

Described by Max Barry as being the 'funniest book he'd ever read', Apathy follows Shane, a directionless and hopelessly apathetic man in his mid-twenties.

Apathy has been compared to Benjamin Kunkel's Indecision, possibly part of a trend of novels focusing on directionless people of an unusually young age for such restlessness.

Paul regularly updates his blog, keeping his fans updated on his recent experiences at work, and other goings on in his life.
