Vivo: The Life of Gustav Meyrink is a 2008 biography about the Austrian writer Gustav Meyrink, written by Mike Mitchell. It covers Meyrink's life and activities as a banker, occultist, satirist and writer of speculative fiction.[1][2]
Mitchell had translated several of Meyrink's works into English and debuted as a biographer with Vivo. Publishers Weekly called the book "fascinating, extensive and a bit speculative", writing that its "examination of a dark, begrudging and sensational individual" makes it a "supremely entertaining biography".[1]
