Biography
John King is an English writer best known for his novels which mostly deal in the more rebellious elements driving the country's culture. His stories carry strong social and political undercurrents, and his work has been widely translated abroad. He has written articles and reviews for alternative and mainstream publications, edits the fiction journal Verbal, and is the co-owner of the London Books publishing house.
In the early 1990s, King was co-founder and co-editor, with Peter Mason, of Two Sevens, a small-press magazine that focused on popular culture, in particular punk and alternative music, street literature, and politics.
In 2007, King set up the independent publishing company London Books with Martin Knight.
King has written for a range of newspapers, magazines, and fanzines over the years, and has contributed to New Statesman in the UK, la Repubblica in Italy, and Le Monde in France. His small-press publication Verbal publishes new fiction and includes an author interview in each issue.
