Figlio del designer e artista Enzo Mari, insegna Letteratura Italiana all'Università Statale di Milano. Dal 1992 risiede a Roma.
Filologo, cultore di fantascienza e di fumetti, il suo stile letterario, estremamente composito, sembra richiamare scrittori quali Carlo Emilio Gadda, Tommaso Landolfi e Giorgio Manganelli, e fuori d'Italia, Louis-Ferdinand Céline.
