Person
Matt Hamilton was born in Glasgow in 1969. After amusing interludes as a labourer, a shop warehouseman and a dishwasher in a Mexican restaurant, he escaped to Glasgow University where he studied Mexican politics, feminism and the post-modern philosophical notions of the cheap all day breakfast. On being offered a Masters degree as a clear enticement to leave, he returned undercover to alarm the other members of a university course on creative writing, before taking the decision to devote himself full time to the creation of the written word. He now lives a monastic existence in Falkirk, within sight of a colossal chemical plant, the billowing fumes from which may or may not be somewhat to blame for the imagination you find yourself currently at the mercy of.
