Andrew Bostock was born in Kenya in 1972, but grew up in South London. An English degree at Oxford did nothing to prepare him for the real world, and he has pursued the typical ‘varied career’ of many writers. This has included teaching English in Greece, tour guiding, managing bookshops, and trying to compete with John Simpson and the BBC in getting news out of Zimbabwe. He has written two guidebooks on Greece as well as articles in several national newspapers and magazines. Apparently a responsible parent, he has spent the last few years trying to decide whether he lives in Greece or England, or should maybe try somewhere else.
