I am a non-fiction author and journalist whose most recent book is the first English-language biography of the writer Joseph Roth (1894-1939). Endless Flight: the Genius and Tragedy of Joseph Roth was published by Granta Books to worldwide acclaim.
My previous biography revealed the story of an extraordinary man who connected the worlds of art, rock’n’roll and criminality in Fifties and Sixties London: that book, Jumpin’ Jack Flash: David Litvinoff and the Rock’n’Roll Underworld, was a Book of the Year in The Times and named the best debut biography of the year in the Guardian.
Aside from writing biographies, I’m the author of a popular science book about dinosaurs and the editor of a volume of medieval Hebrew poetry. When I’m not researching and writing my books and journalism, I work as a writing tutor, proofreader and copy-editor.
