Joseph O'Neill lives in New York and teaches at Bard College. He is the author of four novels, Netherland (longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2008),The Dog, This Is the Life and The Breezes, as well as a memoir, Blood-Dark Track. His short stories have been published in the New Yorker and Harper's, and his literary criticism has appeared in the Guardian, the New York Times, the Irish Times, the Atlantic, Granta and other publications. He won the 2009 PEN/Faulkner Prize for Fiction and 2009 Kerry Fiction Award for Netherland.
Praise for Netherland: 'A great American novel, but one with an ordinary European Everyman at its centre.' Sean O'Hagan, Observer 'An exquisitely written novel, a large fictional achievement, and one of the most remarkable post-colonial books I have ever read' James Wood, New Yorker `An extraordinary novel ... O'Neill is a writer of dizzying elegance' Daniel Swift, Financial Times 'Touched by greatness' Ed Caesar, Sunday Times 'It is hard to know which is stranger - that a great American novel has been written about cricket or that a great cricket novel should be set in America. But both are true. Netherland, a state-of-the-nation exploration of contemporary America, is ambitious, intelligent and deeply perceptive...whether a huge six or a home run - whatever the metaphor of your choice Netherland - comes right out of the middle of the bat' Ed Smith, The Times Praise for The Dog: `On page after page, O'Neill can still dazzle as a compellingly intelligent writer. Everywhere you look, there's a shimmering portrait of modernity waiting to be glimpsed ... [An] ambitious, lucidly thought-through novel' Guardian `Our only truly international writer ... Breathtaking ... O'Neill's writing reflects the individual's concerns in our desolate modern world in prose that is illuminating, amusing, sometimes beautiful, but never showy' Irish Independent `The best comic novel I've read for ages' The Scotsman `Enraged, brutal, witty and at times brilliant' Sunday Times
