Though Making Love has no author, a name was needed for the cover to allay suspicion. Marius Brill wasn't using his name for anything particularly interesting and so has kindly agreed to lend it. If you want to know how he's been wasting his life, a brief CV follows: He began a career in journalism at The Evening Standard in 1985, becoming their first photo-journalist. He went on to write for several national newspapers before giving up and going to Oxford as a mature student. His last jobs in the press were at the Sunday Times and a stint as the Sunday Express science editor. Other moments he might have capitalized on but failed to include: at 19 his first play ‘Frikzhan’, won the 1985 National Youth Theatre/Texaco Most Promising Playwright Award; his radio play ‘sLaughter In The Dark’ won the 1991 BBC Young Writers Festival and he wrote the subsequent popular comedy series for Radio 4 broadcast in 1995; the script for his short film, ‘Diary of a Surreal Killer’ starring Paula Hamilton and A.A.Gill was nominated for the 1997 BAFTA Carl Foreman Award. He has written a number of television documentaries – which have included the award winning BBC/A&E series ‘Prohibition’.
Making Love is his first novel.
