Mark Barrowcliffe (1964-) is a British writer. He grew up in Coventry and studied at the University of Sussex. Barrowcliffe then worked as a journalist and also as a stand-up comedian before he started writing his first novel, Girlfriend 44. He lives and writes in Brighton, England and South Cambridgeshire. Ron Howard secured the film rights for Girlfriend 44, and Infidelity for First Time Fathers is in development with 2929.
Barrowcliffe achieved early success in the late 1990s as part of the Lad Lit movement.[1]
Barrowcliffe's early work was noted for its cynicism[who?] and black humour, although Lucky Dog strikes a lighter tone, that of comedic magic realism.
The Elfish Gene is a memoir of growing up uncool, confused, and obsessed with Dungeons and Dragons and other role-playing games.
