By: Sarah & Tatianna Chris Cleave

Chris Cleave, 36, is the author of two well known novels titled Incendiary and Little Bee. (The Other Hand). His works have been published in twenty countries including the United States and Canada. Cleave is also known as a columnist for The Guardian, a newspaper in London. He lives in London with his wife and three children. Chris states he likes to ride bicycles and spend time with his kids.

Why Cleave Writes… When asked why Chris has decided to write he quotes D.H. Lawrence- “Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is no new road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We’ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.”

Cleave’s Favorite Authors Cormac McCarthy Don DeLillo Howard Jacobson David Mitchell Evie Wyld Philipp Meyer Rachel Seiffert Michel Houellebecq Virginia Woolf Charles Dickens John Steinbeck Emile Zola

Praise Incendiary  “Chris Cleave’s Incendiary is both funny and moving and, all in all, an extraordinary accomplishment... replete with dark comedy.”- The Boston Globe  “An audacious, provocative voice… [Cleave] has a clear and disturbing vision of the psychological effects of an attack on a city population.”- New York Times Book Review Little Bee  “…[an] immensely readable and moving second novel…. Cleave uses his emotionally charged narrative to challenge his readers’ conceptions of civility, of ethical choice…The character and voice of Little Bee reveal Cleave at his finest…. An affecting story of human triumph.”— The New York Times Book Review  “Cleave has a Zola-esque ability to write big, and deeply.... Cleave makes the reader think about political issues and care about his characters.”—USA Today
