Jonathan Ames
Jonathan Ames (born March 23, 1964)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Cover Biography for October 2007 )〕 is an American author who has written a number of novels and comic memoirs. He was a columnist for the ''New York Press'' for several years, and became known for self-deprecating tales of his sexual misadventures. He also has a long-time interest in boxing, appearing occasionally in the ring as "The Herring Wonder". In 2009, he created the HBO television series ''Bored to Death''.
Raised in Oakland, New Jersey, Ames attended Indian Hills High School.〔Spelling, Ian. ("Ennui Enterprise: Oakland native Jonathan Ames strikes gold with Bored to Death" ), ''(201) magazine'', June 1, 2011. Accessed September 12, 2015. "Ames’ years in Oakland, he notes, helped shape his life and career path. His mother was a teacher and a poet, and his father was a salesman and a voracious reader. He studied at Indian Hills High School."〕〔Barone, Matt. ("Happy to Be 'Bored to Death'" ), ''Inside Jersey'', April 6, 2011. Accessed September 12, 2015. "The prolific 47-year-old writer was born and raised in Oakland, where he attended Indian Hills High School."〕

Ames's novels include ''I Pass Like Night'' (1989), ''The Extra Man'' (1998), and 2004's ''Wake Up Sir!'', described by ''The New York Times'' as "laugh-out-loud funny". In September 2008 Ames released ''The Alcoholic'', his first foray into graphic novels〔(【引用サイトリンク】 DC Comics: Coming September 2008 )〕 and an excerpt was included in ''The Best American Comics 2010''.〔Neil Gaiman, ed., The Best American Comics 2010 (Boston, New York: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2010), 317〕 In 2009, he published a new collection of essays and fiction with Scribner, titled ''The Double Life Is Twice as Good.''
While at the ''New York Press'' his columns were often recollections of his childhood neuroses and his unusual experiences, written in the gritty tradition of Charles Bukowski. These columns were collected in four nonfiction books, ''What's Not to Love?: The Adventures of a Mildly Perverted Young Writer'' (2000), ''My Less Than Secret Life'' (2002), ''I Love You More than You Know'' (2006), and ''The Double Life Is Twice As Good: Essays and Fiction (2009)''. Ames was also responsible for the Most Phallic Building contest which followed an article he wrote for ''Slate'' magazine where he claimed that the Williamsburg Bank Building in Brooklyn, New York, was the most phallic building he'd ever seen.〔Ames, Jonathan.
