New Zealand author published his first collection of short stories in 1991. However, he rose to international acclaim in 2007 when his bestselling novel Mister Pip won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize Best Book Award and was also shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. Drawn to a sympathetic portrayal of ordinary middle-class life, Jones is a suburban realist who simultaneously challenges realism,subverts fictional norms, defies categories and writes narratives which are challenging, original and in some cases, controversial.
continues to challenge fictional norms with his latest novel, The Book of Fame. This paperback original is a lyrical, semi-fictional account of the 1905 All Black rugby tour of Europe. The tour helped shape New Zealand?s identity, much of which was expressed in the almost god-like status the players were greeted with upon their return. A novel of friendship and loyalty surrounding a group of astonishing young men at the peak of their abilities.
