He studied English at Downing College, Cambridge under F. R. Leavis. He lectured for three years at the University of Sydney before returning to England to teach at Selwyn College, Cambridge. His later teaching posts included a period at Wolverhampton Polytechnic from 1974 to 1980. His time at Wolverhampton was to form the basis of his first novel, Coming from Behind, a campus comedy about a failing polytechnic that plans to merge facilities with a local football club. He also wrote a travel book in 1987, titled In the Land of Oz, which was researched during his time as a visiting academic in Sydney. His fiction, particularly in the six novels he has published since 1998, is characterised chiefly by a discursive and humorous style. His 1999 novel The Mighty Walzer, about a teenage table tennis champion, won the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for comic writing. In October 2010 Jacobson won the Man Booker Prize for his novel The Finkler Question, which was the first comic novel to win the prize since Kingsley Amis's The Old Devils in 1986. In 2013 he made The New York Times Best Seller List with his title Whole Rethinking the Science of Nutrition which he co-authored with T. Colin Campbell. He will be at the Oz, New Zealand festival of literature and arts program in 2015 in London. (Bowker Author Biography) — biografía de La extraordinaria naturaleza de Sam Finkler … (más) |

(abbottthomas)Ubicación del evento: Keats House, Keats Grove, Hampstead, London NW£ 2RR Free Library of Philadelphia - Howard Jacobson - Zoo Time Zoo Time Howard Jacobson “As the brightness of his brilliance is hard to look at, so is the darkness of his humor. I don't know a funnier writer alive,” wrote Jonathan Safran Foer of Howard Jacobson’s Man Booker Prize-winning novel, The Finkler Question. An acerbic critic and broadcaster with a passion for literature and art, Jacobson explores human existence through the lens of contemporary Judaism. His novels include Coming From Behind, Peeping Tom, No More Mister Nice Guy, The Mighty Walzer, and Whatever It Is, I Don't Like It, a collection his weekly columns for The Independent. In his new novel, Zoo Time, a jaded novelist in search of new material takes an attraction to his alluring, angry mother-in-law to another level.
