name: Jacques Strauss
about: I was born and raised in South Africa and lived in New Zealand for a few years. I moved to London in 2005. In my twenties, I was a failed playwright but when I turned thirty, I decided this was undignified and decided to become a failed author instead. This seemed more glamorous. But then hey - I got published: UK May 19 2011 (Cape); US August 30 2011 (FSG). During the day I'm a freelance digital producer. This ensures that I enjoy life's little pleasures like food and shelter. I was born and raised in South Africa and lived in New Zealand for a few years. I moved to London in 2005.
