rdfs:comment	Lesley Glaister född 1956 i Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, är en brittisk författare och dramatiker. Hon har skrivit 11 romaner, en pjäs och ett antal noveller och hörspel. Glaisters böcker har beskrivits som 'förortsgotik' och jämförs med Ruth Rendell, Kate Atkinson och Ian McEwan. Hon behandlar ofta allvarliga ämnen (mord, galenskap och besatthet dyker ofta upp i hennes böcker) men ofta blandat med ett stråk av mörk humor. Hennes första roman Honour Thy Father (1990) vann och Betty Trask Award och hennes nionde, Now You See Me var nominerad till Orangepriset 2002. Hennes första pjäs, Bird Calls uppfördes på Crucible Theatre, Sheffield, 2003. (sv) Lesley Glaister (born 4 October 1956,) is a British novelist, poet and playwright.

has abstract	Lesley Glaister (born 4 October 1956,) is a British novelist, poet and playwright. She has written 15 novels, Blasted Things (2020) being the most recent, one play and numerous short stories and radio plays. She is a lecturer in creative writing at the University of St Andrews, and is a regular contributor of book reviews to The Spectator and The Times. She is married to poet Andrew Greig. Her subject matter is often serious (murder, madness and obsession crop up regularly in her books) but with a thread of dark humour running through it. Her first novel Honour Thy Father (1990) won the Somerset Maugham Award and a Betty Trask Award, Now You See Me was shortlisted for the Orange Prize for fiction in 2002, and Easy Peasy was shortlisted for the Guardian Fiction Prize in 1998. Little Egypt, published in 2014, won a Jerwood Fiction Uncovered Prize. Her first play, Bird Calls, was performed at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield, in 2003. Glaister is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. She is currently writer in residence at the University of Edinburgh.
