Haddon’s novel immediately won fans in each group, quickly selling more than a million copies in both markets, in no small part because of the unique voice of its narrator. The book came out in England in two imprints, one aimed at young adults, and one at adults, though no differences separate the two editions other than a slight change in the cover artwork. The book follows Christopher John Francis Boone, a young boy whose symptoms and behavior suggest he has a mild form of autism, perhaps Asperger’s Syndrome. In 2003, Haddon published The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, his first foray into adult fiction. For the British children’s show, Microsoap, in particular, Haddon won multiple awards, including the Royal Television Society’s honor for Best Children’s Drama. Haddon followed with more than a dozen works for children over the years, many of which he also illustrated, and became involved in writing for children’s television. In 1987, Haddon published his first book, Gilbert’s Gobstopper, about a piece of candy that, over the course of fifty years, gets bounced around the world until it returns to Gilbert, the boy that dropped it (he is an old man by the time it returns). He also worked as an illustrator and cartoonist, contributing to a number of prominent British publications. After school, Haddon took a number of odd jobs, including one working with children who had physical and mental disabilities, including autism. He graduated from Merton College, Oxford, in 1981, and later returned to his studies at Edinburgh University, where he received a Master’s degree in English Literature. Mark Haddon was born in Northampton, England, in 1962.
