Kelvin Wright was born in Dorset, England in 1972, the year that the Pioneer 10 spacecraft was launched; The Godfather was released in cinemas; the Watergate scandal began and the last manned mission to the moon took place. The first 14 years of his life were spent living in aristocratic surroundings as his father headed the gardens of Lords, Ladies, and Royalty. Obituary is Kelvin’s first novel, and is already receiving support internationally. Part critical observation, part fiction, the story was born out of years of studying the key changes occurring within postmodern society, including globalisation, individualisation, the move towards a consumerist global economy and changes affecting the workplace: changing working conditions, employee health and welfare concerns, job insecurity and work place stress and anxiety, all leading to the belief that we really could do better. Kelvin currently lives in Madrid, Spain, and is now working on his second novel, “Saint Aygulf”.
