Chris -
I like your notion of the biog as something to stay the attention of a
potential reader. My personal favourite in the genre would have attracted
my attention even if I hadn't already known of the author in question:
Frank Kuppner was born in Glasgow in 1951 and has lived there ever since,
"nursing the impossible dream of emigrating to Edinburgh." He is a
qualified Electronics Engineer, although he has never practised. Carcanet
published _A Bad Day for the Sung Dynasty_ and _The Intelligent Observation
of Naked Women._
(And a few more since but I've only got _Ridiculous! Absurd! Disgusting!_)
best,
Malcolm (born in Aberdeen, emigrated to Cambridge)
