About the Author
 
 

Adam Mars-Jones’s first book of stories,
Lantern Lecture
, was published in 1981 and won a Somerset Maugham Award. In 1983 and again in 1993 he was named one of
Granta
’s Best of Young British Novelists, despite not having produced a novel at the time. His Zen status as an acclaimed novelist without a novel was dented by the appearance of
The Waters of Thirst
, and can only suffer further with the appearance of
Pilcrow
, described by Margaret Drabble as ‘one of the most remarkable novels I have read in recent years.’
