Michael Smith (born 1976 in London) is an English writer, broadcaster and film-maker. He was brought up in Hartlepool, County Durham and graduated from University College London. His best-known work is ''The Giro Playboy''.〔(Michael Smith - Conville & Walsh Literary Agents )〕 ==Writing== He began writing by producing a series of pamphlets which became collectors' items and which he worked up into ''The Giro Playboy'' (Faber and Faber, 2006). ''Shorty Loves Wing Wong'' (Faber and Faber, 2007), a prequel to ''The Giro Playboy'', incorporating art by Jim Medway, was the follow-up. Both Faber books were preceded by collectable limited editions, published by Simon Finch and To Hell, respectively. The Simon Finch edition collected together the early ''The Giro Playboy'' pamphlets and a compact disk of readings, set to music by collaborator Flora, packaged in a hand-stencilled pizza box. ''Shorty Loves Wing Wong'' was accompanied by an exhibition of Jim Medway's artwork at London's Paul Stolper Gallery. ''Unreal City'', Smith's third Faber book (September 2013), is a limited edition, with an accompanying CD of readings, combining music by Andrew Weatherall. Paperback and iBook versions will follow. His writing has been anthologised in collections, including: Oysteropolis, in ''On Nature'' (Harper, 2011), and extracts from ''The Giro Playboy'' in ''Reactions 5: New Poetry'' (Pen & Inc Press, University of East Anglia, 2005). Smith has also written features for ''The Guardian'' and ''The Observer'' newspapers, ''The Idler'', ''Zembla'' and ''Fire & Knives'', as well as regular columns for magazines ''Dazed & Confused'', ''Good For Nothing'' and ''Bare Bones/Le Gun''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Smith (writer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
