- Q6273661 abstract "Jonathan Lee (born 24 April 1981) is a British writer best known as the author of the novels Who Is Mr Satoshi?',' Joy, and 'High Dive who The Guardian has described as "a major new voice in British fiction."On publication Who Is Mr Satoshi was reviewed by the British press. The Observer called it 'elegant and incisive', The Independent said it was a 'masterful first novel', the Daily Telegraph called it a 'funny, insightful and beautiful' and the Daily Mail described the novel as 'dream-like ... an unusual, playful and clever book. The novel was also praised by several well-known literary fiction writers, including Giles Foden, author of The Last King Of Scotland, who called it 'funny and moving'.Who Is Mr Satoshi was a runner up in the Edinburgh Festival's First Book Award 2010 and led to Jonathan Lee being shortlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize for literature 2011.The author's agents, Aitken Alexander Associates Ltd, state on their website that Jonathan Lee was born in Surrey in 1981, graduated from the University of Bristol with a First in English Literature and was working as a solicitor when he wrote his debut novel.Lee's second novel, Joy, was released in June 2012. It was widely reviewed, with the Observer declaring that it is 'exquisitely and surprisingly written ... it proves that Lee is a significant talent', the Literary Review saying it is 'an enormously impressive piece of storytelling' and Henry Sutton writing in The Mirror that ‘Lee’s the real deal – a British writer on the cusp of greatness ... A brilliant & powerful dissection of modern Britain’ . Booker Prize shortlisted author A.D. Miller said that ‘with its supple prose, ingenious structure, wit & slow-burn sympathy, Joy is a sly miracle of a novel’. However, some reviewers such as the reviewer on the Book Oxygen blog were far more critical, arguing that the book is unnecessarily 'complex and demanding' and can at times 'feel like a product'. An article in The Guardian alleged that Joy was inspired by the death of an ex-colleague of Lee's in 2007, while Lee was working as a lawyer at the same law company.After the publication of Joy, Lee won a Society of Authors K Blundell Trust Award and was long listed for the Sunday Times EFG Short Story Award.High Dive, Lee's third novel, was published in the UK in 2015 and re-imagined events surrounding the Brighton hotel bombing by the Provisional Irish Republican Army in 1984, an attempt to assassinate then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher The Sunday Times called it "an extraordinary performance: vividly written, painfully human and fully fleshing the inner lives of its characters". The Guardian, after publishing a review by Jake Arnott, named it among their "books of the year" and stated that it was "a multi-voiced epic that leads towards a stunning finale." The Independent, in its review, called Lee "a wordsmith of incomparable eloquence" and also chose it as one of their books of the year. Not all critics were as positive. A negative review of the novel was published in the Financial Times, which argued that "the novel suffers from some bum notes ... the thoughts of the characters meander in ways that aren’t always interesting or revealing." In an interview with Mariella Frostrup for the BBC, Lee defended his decision to tell the story of the real-life bombing through largely fictional characters. For the release of High Dive in the United States by Alfred A. Knopf in 2016, the book has been chosen by Barnes & Noble for their "Discover Great New Writers" program.In an interview with The Independent in 2015 Lee stated that he relocated to New York from London in 2012. The author's twitter page states that he currently lives in Brooklyn.".
