Edward Docx is a prize-winning British writer. He was born in the far north of England. He lives and works in London close to the river Thames. He is the oldest of seven children and has written about his upbringing in an eccentric family. His mother is half-Russian. His first novel, The Calligrapher, was short-listed for both the William Saroyan prize and the Guilford Prize. The San Francisco Chronicle called it a best debut book of the year. This was followed by Pravda (2007, entitled Self Help in the UK), which was long-listed for the Man-Booker Prize (2007) and won the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize (2007). His third novel was The Devil’s Garden (2011) - which is now in production with Mandabach Productions. His new novel "Let Go My Hand" is published this year. Docx has been compared to writers as diverse as Julian Barnes, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoyevsky and JM Coetzee. And his writing is often praised for its descriptive skill. But his work is chiefly noted for its vitality and the attention given to character as well as style: 'Docx has a gift for assessing “the exact shape and weight of other people’s inner selves, the architecture of their spirit” and even his most ancillary characters flare into being, vital and insistent.' The New Yorker.
