L'autore:

Louise Wener was born and raised in Ilford, East London. In the mid nineties, after years of singing into hair brushes and working in dead end jobs, she found fame as lead singer with the pop band Sleeper and went on to record three top ten albums and eight top forty singles. Having realised her twin ambitions of meeting Richard and Judy and appearing on Top of the Pops she decided it was time for a change of direction. Goodnight Steve McQueen is her first novel.
