MICHAEL NATH

At the age of fifteen, in a valley in Wales, Michael decided he was going to be a novelist. Years passed and then around the age of thirty, he started writing short pieces that he called stories; a number of these were published, in magazines such as Stand. His first novel, 2010’s La Rochelle, was shortlisted for the James Tait Memorial Prize for Fiction.

He is a senior lecturer in English at the University of Westminster. His major teaching and research interests are in creative writing and modernism, as well as in Shakespearean drama. His last novel, 2014’s British Story: A Romance, was a Morning Star Book of the Year. Michael’s latest book is The Treatment.
