Autorenporträt

Anthony Holden was an award-winning journalist before becoming a bestselling writer. Best-known for his biographies of figures both living and historical, as well as critical studies of the monarchy, Holden also wrote several books about poker. Big Deal, his account of a year as a professional poker player, has been hailed as a cult classic.  A frequent broadcaster, who wrote for a wide range of newspapers and periodicals on both sides of the Atlantic, Holden also published poetry, criticism and polemical pamphlets advocating constitutional reform.

Rezensionen

'A writer's life told by a born writer - beautifully observed, brilliantly written, wonderfully evocative. It's a story of our time - featuring some of the most remarkable characters of our time - funny, moving and telling; a roller-coaster of a good read, at times hilarious, at times heart-breaking. My book of the year.' Gyles Brandreth
