- Something About Me and My Book:
- Eric G. Müller was born in Durban, South Africa, and studied literature and history at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. After a few years working at a variety of jobs, playing and performing music, and traveling around Europe, he attended Emerson College in Sussex, England and the Waldorf Institute in Witten-Annen, Germany, where he specialized in music education. Together with his family he moved to Eugene, Oregon, where he taught for eight years. Currently he is living in upstate New York, teaching music, drama, English literature and creative writing. He is a founding member of the Alkion Center and is the director of the education department.

His novel Rites of Rock (Adonis 2005) is a fast-moving and riveting saga that examines the phenomenon of rock music. In Coffee on the Piano for You Müller presents old and new poetry written mostly while traveling or drinking coffee. His second novel, Meet Me at the Met (Plain View Press, 2010) is an absorbing account of a man who tries to come to terms with himself and the world at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Meet Me at the Met
My novel Meet Me at the Met is finally out (Plain View Press, 2010). For anyone who loves art and receives inspiration by going to museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art will find this book interesting. The following blurb sums up the essence of the novel:
Eric Mueller’s classy title, Meet Me at the Met, invites readers to follow a rich tale of romance, idealism, scandal, and emerging self knowledge. The book has a double story—the living of a life and the process of writing that life—both tales narrated by a high-minded, vain, passionate, confessional man who is determined to write it all until he can understand it. He delights in the arts, teaches at a school near New York City’s beloved Metropolitan Museum, and reveres the treasures there. Each time he wants to recall and record an episode from his life, he goes to the Met and chooses from among its famous galleries a different “office” to write in. Having grown up near the Met myself, I particularly enjoyed the passages where various parts of the museum’s immense collection are precisely and appreciatively described. In this absorbing fiction about inspiration, personal growth, and the capacity for mature awareness, Mueller has woven an enticing tapestry of pleasure, pain, aspiration, and love.
--Gertrude Reif Hughes, Professor Emerita, Wesleyan University
The book is delightful, original and idiosyncratic. It’s completely original. Congratulations!
– Andre Gregory – Internationally renowned director and actor.
His film credits include: My Dinner with Andre, The Last Temptation of Christ, Demolition Man, and Vanya on 42nd Street
Meet me at the Met is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Plain View Press or through your nearest bookstore (or a signed copy directly from me - www.ericgmuller.com)
