About John Boyne
John Boyne was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1971, and studied English Literature at Trinity College, Dublin, and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, where he was awarded the pretigious Curtis Brown prize. To date, John has published 13 novels for adults and several for younger readers, including the acclaimed The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas which was a New York Times no.1 Bestseller and was adapted into a movie of the same name.
What could have happened if Oscar Wilde had simply ignored the insult that lead to his downfall? In The Weight of Angels, John Boyne explores this question and imagines the life one of Ireland's greatest writers never had.
