Robert Mailer Anderson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Mailer Anderson (born 1968) is an American novelist. His first novel, Boonville, was published in 2001. Previously, he has written for the Anderson Valley Advertiser, a newspaper then published by his uncle Bruce Anderson. He is married to Nicola Miner (daughter of Oracle cofounder Bob Miner) and they reside in San Francisco where they are major benefactors to the arts and charities. Their 13,000 square foot mansion in the Pacific Heights neighborhood is well known for its prominent statue of a robot with a gas pump for a penis by artist Nemo Gould placed on the front terrace of the home in this otherwise stuffy and ultra-expensive high society neighborhood.
