Douglas Anthony Cooper is a writer originally from Canada, who lived for many years in New York City and currently resides in Oaxaca, Mexico. He trained in philosophy and architecture, and these are the areas that dominate his novels, which are generally placed in the category of postmodern fiction. Michiko Kakutani in The New York Times wrote that his "elliptical narrative style recalls works by D. M. Thomas, Paul Auster, Sam Shepard and Vladimir Nabokov."

Cooper often works with architects, including a number of projects around the world with Diller + Scofidio involving new media. His works with Diller + Scofidio include a landscape piece at the 2002 World's Fair in Switzerland and "Chain City", a video installation at the 2008 Venice Biennale of Architecture. He also partnered with Peter Eisenman on a major piece for the Architecture Triennial in Milan: an installation based on Cooper's second novel, Delirium.

Cooper has written travel articles for many publications and was associated for years with New York Magazine. In 2004 he won America's most prestigious travel writing award, the Lowell Thomas Gold Medal, from the Society of American Travel Writers.
