Michael Jarvie

Michael Jarvie is a working-class writer from County Durham. He is the author of the composite novel "The Prison", the thriller "Black Art", a complete edition of the poetry of Georg Trakl in translation titled "Autumnal Elegies", a collection of working-class life writing "Into the Silence" and "Sonata Form", a metafictional novel.

With a BA Honours degree in English Language and Literature from Birmingham City University and an MA with Distinction in Creative Writing from Teesside University, he has been interested in writing from an early age and, given his German heritage, is an accomplished translator from that particular language.

He also writes screenplays and poetry. When it comes to reading, he usually has several books on the go at the same time. Visit his website at https://www.michaeljarvie.com

Outside the realm of literature he enjoys listening to classical music and Krautrock, watching films, playing snooker badly, supporting Darlington FC, drinking the odd bottle of Chablis, eating his favourite dish of chicken Jalfrezi (ideally from The Spice Garden) and munching on Percy Pigs.
