As a young Man, Carey worked in Madame Tussauds wax museum (London), which would figure into his historical novel, Little.[4]
Carey attended the University of Iowa International Writing Program and taught at the Iowa Writers' Workshop.
He has lived in many European locations, but, in 2006, he took up permanent residence in the United States, settling in Austin where he teaches at the University of Texas.[4] He is married to the writer Elizabeth McCracken.[5]
