john banville

John Banville is an Irish novelist, born December 8, 1945 in Wexford. He was shortlisted for the 1989 Booker Prize (Book of Evidence), and won the Guinness Peat Aviation Award the same year. He is the literary editor of the Irish Times. Banville is known for his precise (some would say cold) prose style, Nabokovian in inventiveness, and for the dark humour of his generally arch narrators.
