He went from council dwellings in Whitlawburn to four-in-a-block home owning in Croftfoot in just fifteen years. During this time he left school, rejected by Glasgow School of Art, attended various colleges and had numerous jobs, some good and some bad. He met a lot of thoroughly adequate people along the way and most of them tolerated him. A handful still do. Later on he attended ‘proper’ universities as he completed a degree in English Literature followed by a PGDE in Primary Education. This was around the same time that he met a girl. Coincidence? Probably not. Happy in his spare time to write stories that don’t appeal to everyone in the world, he will release his debut novella The Quarrel with Rowanvale Books in 2014. Sitting out on the literary fringe a little bit, Jason Thorkwell in image: sullen, arty and difficult. In reality: profoundly ordinary, sullen, arty and difficult. He continues to work in primary education - oh, and he married the girl.voir moins
