Tom McCarthy is a writer and artist, celebrated as "English fiction's new laureate of disappointment" by Time Out in 2007. Born in 1969, he resides in a London tower-block and grew up in Greenwich, south London, where he studied English at New College, Oxford. McCarthy's experiences in Prague and Amsterdam have shaped his literary career, including a stint as literary editor of the Amsterdam Time Out and work in British television. He co-edited Mute magazine and has published numerous stories, essays, and articles on literature, philosophy, and art in The Observer, The Times Literary Supplement, and Contemporary Magazine, among others. McCarthy's debut novel, Remainder, was first published in 2005 and has since become a cult hit, championed by British webzines and the literary press, leading to republications by Alma Books in the UK and Vintage in the US. His subsequent works include A work of literary criticism, Tintin and the Secret of Literature, released by Granta Books in 2006, and his second novel, Men in Space, published in 2007. His writing has been translated into several languages, including French, Japanese, Korean, Greek, Spanish, and Croatian.
