Autorenporträt

Jayne Joso is a British novelist, playwright, writer and artist. Having lived and worked in Japan, China and Kenya she now lives in the UK. Her play China's Smile enjoyed a long theatre run and was later televised. Her children's book How Do You Feel? was published in Japan and has been reprinted numerous times. In 2012, she was awarded the Coracle International Writer's Residency in Ireland. Her first novel, Soothing Music for Stray Cats (2009, Alcemi) explores the lives of disaffected city dwellers, and was heralded as 'the debut of a distinctive voice in contemporary British Fiction' by social historian Joe Moran; with the Times Literary Supplement predicting that it 'may emerge as one of the great, eccentric London novels'. Her second novel, Perfect Architect (2011, Alcemi), draws on Joso's interest in architectural and psychological space.
