Tom McCarthy (born 1969) is an English novelist, artist and literary theorist. His debut novel Remainder was released as a limited run by the French arts publisher Metronome Press in 2005 before being picked up by British publisher Alma Books in 2006 and re-released to great acclaim. It has since been optioned for film by Film Four [1]. His second book (also in 2006) was a non-fiction analysis of themes in the work of Hergé, Tintin and the Secret of Literature (Granta). In February 2007, Remainder was published in the United States as a paperback original by Vintage Books.
Before his literary career, McCarthy taught at several art schools and headed the modern-day avant-garde organisation the International Necronautical Society. He currently teaches for the London Consortium.
