Robert Majzels (born May 12, 1950) is a Canadian novelist, poet, playwright and translator.
In 1986, he graduated with a master's degree in English Literature from Concordia University in Montreal, where he would later teach creative writing for thirteen years.
After teaching for seven years at the University of Calgary, he now lives in Sooke, British Columbia.
His novels highlight the artificiality of Western literary language, especially its linearity, archetypal narratives, and the ways in which it works to establish characters as believable personae (characterization).
For example, Apikoros Sleuth experimented with a Talmudic form, noted for its polyphonic, discursive, and digressive qualities.
