Jeff Noon

    24 novembre 1957

    Jeff Noon est un romancier, nouvelliste et dramaturge dont les œuvres utilisent abondamment les jeux de mots et la fantaisie. Il a étudié les arts plastiques et le théâtre, devenant plus tard auteur résident dans un grand théâtre, bien qu'il en soit rapidement parti, trouvant peut-être le réalisme inhérent inadapté aux royaumes fantastiques qu'il imaginait. Inspiré par la suggestion d'un collègue alors qu'il travaillait dans une librairie, son premier roman est devenu une référence de la science-fiction britannique. Noon intègre parfaitement les développements technologiques dans des mondes de magie et de fantaisie, tirant une plus grande inspiration de la musique et des héros de bandes dessinées américaines que d'autres romanciers ; il écrit souvent en musique.
