C.D. Rose
C. D. Rose has spent the last decade leaving a trail of short stories behind him, including Arkady Who Couldn't See And Artem Who Couldn't Hear, which was longlisted for the Sunday Times/EFG Bank award in 2013.
Most notably, he is the editor of The Biographical Dictionary of Literary Failure (fifty-two brief biographies of writers who achieved a certain degree of failure), published by Melville House.
He is at home anywhere there are good libraries, dusty second-hand bookshops and dark bars.
