An Entity of Type: animal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Martin Millar is a Scottish writer from Glasgow, now resident in London. He also writes the Thraxas series of fantasy novels under the pseudonym Martin Scott. The novels he writes as Martin Millar dwell on urban decay and British sub-cultures, and the impact these have on a range of characters, both realistic and supernatural. There are elements of magical realism, and the feeling that the boundary between real life and the supernatural is not very thick. Most of them are set in Brixton, Millar's one-time place of residence. Many are at least semi-autobiographical, and Love and Peace with Melody Paradise and Suzy, Led Zeppelin and Me both feature Millar himself as a character.

  • Martin Millar (Glasgow, 1956) è uno scrittore scozzese. Ha scritto romanzi, racconti, sceneggiature e graphic novel. Ha inoltre realizzato il romanzamento del film Tank Girl ed è anche l'autore di una serie di romanzi incentrati sulla figura dell'investigatore , pubblicati sotto lo pseudonimo di Martin Scott. Nelle sue opere, che sfuggono a una rigida definizione di genere, elementi magici e forze soprannaturali si fondono in modo caotico e scanzonato con il mondo reale, dando così vita a una realtà costellata di personaggi che si muovono in una sorta di sovrapposizione di dimensioni diverse. Molte delle sue storie sono ambientate a Brixton, quartiere londinese in cui l'autore ha vissuto per un periodo, e sono almeno in parte autobiografiche: in Love and Peace with Melody Paradise ed in Io, Suzy e i Led Zeppelin Millar stesso appare come personaggio. Nel 2000 ha ricevuto il World Fantasy Award nella categoria "miglior racconto". (it)
