About The Author

Andrew Cowan was born in Corby and educated at the University of East Anglia. PIG, his first novel (published in 1996), was longlisted for the Booker, shortlisted for five other literary awards and won the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award, a Betty Trask Award, the Ruth Hadden Memorial Prize, the Authors' Club First Novel Award and a Scottish Council Book Award. He is also the author of the writing guidebook THE ART OF WRITING FICTION and four other novels: COMMON GROUND, CRUSTACEANS, WHAT I KNOW and WORTHLESS MEN, which will be published by Sceptre in 2013. He is the Director of the Creative Writing programme at UEA.

Cowan has the rare ability to write an ambitious novel in a tone which is both intimate and engaging…He creates a fictional world at once bleak and tender, a beautifully exact portrait of a 1900s inner city

Other text
