Mark Hudson (author)
Mark Hudson is a multiple-award-winning British writer, journalist and critic,〔Author biography, (Bloomsbury )〕 whose books have been described as exploring the boundaries between fiction and travel writing.
==Biography==
Hudson’s books are diverse in subject matter, but united by their approach which incorporates elements of history, travel writing, cultural criticism and personal participation.〔Profile, (Travel Intelligence )〕 As a journalist Hudson has written extensively about African music and culture, and two of his books are set in Africa. ''Our Grandmothers' Drums'', based on a year spent living in a village in the Gambia, described the author’s personal and emotional involvement in village life with a frankness unusual in either travel writing or anthropology.〔Review, (Gam Writers: Discovery of Gambian Literature and Publications )〕 ‘I have rarely read a book of greater passion or honesty,’ wrote the ''Sunday Times''.〔Mark Hudson biography (as a fellow),(The Royal Literary Fund )〕 While the book’s candidness attracted some criticism, particularly in the U.S., it won two literary awards, Thomas Cook Travel Book Award (1990) and Somerset Maugham Award (1990). ''The Music in my Head'', a scabrous satire on the world music phenomenon, set in a fictional West African city, offended many in the world music milieu,〔Bradshaw, Michael. Book Review: The Music in My Head, (The Richmond Review )〕 but delighted others.〔Murray, Charles Shaar. Wednesday's Book, (The Independent ), 18 February 1998.〕
''Coming Back Brockens'', based on a year spent in a former mining village in the north of England – where the author’s grandfather and great-grandfather were both miners – was acclaimed in ''The Independent'' as "a pained description of an England that has all but exhausted itself".〔 Hudson’s most recent book, ''Titian, the Last Days'', is a personal study of the great Venetian painter Titian, focusing on his mysterious last paintings.〔Smith, PD. Review, (The Guardian ), 11 September 2010.〕
Hudson is a regular contributor to the ''Daily Telegraph'' and has also written for ''The Observer'', the ''Mail on Sunday'', the ''Financial Times'', the ''Sunday Times'' and the ''Guardian''.〔
