Jonathan Trigell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jonathan Trigell (born 1974) is a British author.[1] His first novel, entitled Boy A, won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize 2004 and the Waverton Good Read Award.
Jonathan completed an MA in creative writing at Manchester University in 2002. He spent most winters in Alps working in the Ski Industry and now lives in Chamonix, France[2].
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."[3]
Trigell's second novel Cham, familiar name of Chamonix[4] , also acquired by Serpent's Tail publishing house, was published in October 2007.
He is currently working on his third novel, Genesis.
