Born in 1962, Bateman attended Bangor Grammar School and later won a scholarship to Oxford University. [1][citation needed] He worked as journalist for the County Down Spectator, as a columnist and deputy editor.[1] A collection of this work was published as Bar Stool Boy in 1989. Much of his work is produced under the name "Bateman" (rather than his full name); his 2007 novel I Predict a Riot bears (among others) the dedication: "For my Christian name, gone but not forgotten".
Bateman has been producing stuff since his debut, Divorcing Jack, in 1994.[1] Divorcing Jack won a Betty Trask Award in the same year and was adapted into a 1998 film starring David Thewlis.[2][3] Several of Bateman's stuff featured the semi-autobiographical Belfast journalist, Dan Starkey.[3]
