Jonathan Trigell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jonathan Trigell (born 1974) is a British author. His first novel, entitled Boy A, won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize 2004 and the Waverton Good Read Award.
Boy A is the story of a child criminal released into society as an adult. It has obvious and presumably deliberate parallels to the fates of the murderers of James Bulger, although the crime itself differs significantly.
Highly acclaimed critically, Boy A was described by Sarah Waters, Chair of the Judges for the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, as "a compelling narrative, a beautifully structured piece of writing, and a thought-provoking novel of ideas. It's a wonderful debut."
Trigell's second novel CHAM, also acquired by Serpent's Tail publishing house, is due for release in October 2007.
