HAWES, JAMES

Fiction writer. After graduating from Hertford College, Oxford, and working as an English teacher and an archaeologist, he studied for a PhD on Nietzsche and Kafka at University College London. He then lectured in Ireland between 1989 and 1991 before teaching German at the University of Swansea. He is the author of four thrillers, the second of which, Rancid Aluminium, was made into a film. His novel, White Powder, Green Light is a satire on the Soho film industry, partly inspired by his experiences during the making of the film version of Rancid Aluminium. The BBC has commissioned Andrew Davies to re-work Speak for England (Jonathan Cape, 2005) for television. He has written seven novels in total and lives and works in Cardiff.
