Autorenporträt

James was born in Liverpool, where he has now returned to live after several years in Central Europe. Having been mainly based in Budapest and Prague, his experiences there had a major influence on his fiction. He uses real events in history to explore the ideological legacies of the twentieth century from new angles. With his background in journalism and academic interest in creative writing, James shows enormous potential as a novelist. Dark, mysterious, and ethereal - think D M Thomas and Andrei Platonov - readers will appreciate this new, truly original voice.
