Will Wiles was born in India in 1978. He is deputy editor of Icon, a monthly architecture and design magazine, where for three years he has written about everything from Pot Noodles to jumbo jets. He once spent a week trying to find a Chihuahua skeleton.
His debut novel, CARE OF WOODEN FLOORS, is a black comedy of death, destruction and interior decoration. He lives in London.
'Ye Gods -- CARE OF WOODEN FLOORS is a wonderful work. Precisely constructed, with an eye that sees in between the everyday spaces of our lives, it sheds new light, not only on ourselves, but on the contemporary novel itself.' -- Lee Rourke
'CARE OF WOODEN FLOORS is funny, beguiling and quietly profound; it's a wonderfully well-crafted debut.' -- David Winters, Times Literary Supplement.
'This truly is a work of rare genius, and for a debut novel it deserves the highest acclaim. Brilliantly written, the narrative suspense is pitched at just the right level to make you wonder how far Wiles is going to go with it. And then he goes there. In places it is so farcical it is almost unbearable to watch the chaos unfurl, in case your pre-emptive imagination was right. It's hilarious, it's cringe-worthy, it plays havoc with everyday situations we've all encountered, and it's utterly, utterly brilliant.' -- We Love This Book.
