The Line-Up
Ian Marchant - ProseBorn a week before Elvis joined the Army, Ian Marchant is originally from Newhaven in East Sussex, and now lives in neither England, nor Wales, but Radnorshire.Before taking up writing books, he sang in various unimaginably obscure bands, wrote up the results of horse races in bookmakers' shops and ran a large second-hand bookshop on the Charing Cross Road.He has published six books, including two acclaimed memoir/travel books for Bloomsbury, 'Parallel Lines' and 'The Longest Crawl', which were each selected by Nicholas Lezard as his paperback of the week in The Guardian. 'The Longest Crawl' was book of the month for September 2007 in both 'The Sunday Sport' and 'The Church of England Newspaper', a hitherto undreamt of critical double.For several years he was also the regular compere at Spotlight!www.ianmarchant.com
