| John's
first book, a political memoir entitled Things Can Only Get Better about
his 18 years in Labour, was a number one bestseller and was dramatized
for BBC Radio 4. This was followed by The Best a Man Can Get which became
Britain's best selling debut novel of 2002 and is currently being adapted
for the big screen. His second novel; This is Your Life was a satire on
the world of celebrity which John wrote in the hope of getting on the
telly occasionally. He is now a regular guest on TV and radio appearing
on such shows as Question Time, Have I Got News For You, and Grumpy Old
Men with the result that he is one of the few novelists in Britain to
be greeted by passing lorry drivers shouting 'All right Grumpy?'
As well as being a bestselling author, John O'Farrell has written a weekly humorous column for the Guardian for the past five years; two collections of which have been published as Global Village Idiot and I Blame the Scapegoat. As an award-winning writer for television and radio comedy, John wrote for productions such as Spitting Image, Have I Got News For You and Murder Most Horrid as well as contributing to the screenplay of Chicken Run. John has contributed short stories for the collections Speaking With the Angel, and Magic and his novels have been translated into over twenty languages - although quite how the gags work in Norwegian is anyone's guess. |
