Nick Hornby

Nick Hornby (born 17 April 1957) is an English novelist and essayist who lives in Highbury, Islington (London). He frequently touches upon obsessive behavior (usually male, and related to two of his own interests: sports and music), and writes in what some say is a funny, entertaining style, containing hidden depths.

Hornby built his name first with Fever Pitch (1992) a memoir of his lifelong support of Arsenal F.C. That book, and his first and second novels, High Fidelity (1995) and About a Boy (1998), draw on the author's life experience and find particular appeal among men in their twenties and thirties.
