Wacky author biogs
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
For me, the dafter an author biography is, the better! Showing a good sense of humour makes them far more interesting and memorable (just like a good personal ad in the dating pages – not that I’d know anything about that!).
I’ve just found a new favourite: Matt Rudd, author of William Walker’s First Year of Marriage: A Horror Story. And here is his biog:
‘Matt is a writer and editor on the Sunday Times, where he has worked for seven years. In the name of journalism, he has fought three Mexican wrestlers single-handed, had an affair on ‘SecondLife’, binge-drunk at Wetherspoons, bruised himself on a Japanese toilet and spied on his wife Harriet using the very latest GPS technology. He has also stress-tested M&S Y-fronts but prefers not to talk about it. He is 34 and lives in Kent with Harriet and their two young sons.’
Anyone else have any favourites?
