The author and critic Andrew Crumey was born
in Glasgow. Before he started writing, the author studied mathematics
and theoretical physics at the University of St. Andrews, going
on to do a PhD in theoretical physics at Imperial College, London.
His most recent novel, Mr. Mee, centres on the long vanished
Rosier's Encyclopaedia, a 200-year-old French text with the potential
to challenge the existence of the universe.
