Nick Hornby Biografía y Hechos

Nick Hornby (Redhill, 17 de abril de 1957) es un escritor británico. Profesor de literatura inglesa licenciado en Cambridge, empezó colaborando como periodista en publicaciones como The Sunday Times, The Independent y como crítico de música para The New Yorker. Suyas son novelas de éxito como Alta fidelidad, Un gran chico y Fiebre en las gradas entre otras. Esta última novela ganó el premio William Hill Sports Book of the Year en 1992. Alta fidelidad fue llevada al cine por Stephen Frears. Biografía Nick Hornby se crio en una familia de clase media-alta inglesa, debido al éxito de su padre, Sir Derek Hornby, como hombre de negocios. Sus padres se divorciaron cuando él tenía once años. Desde esa edad, y tal vez para olvidar el divorcio de sus padres, se convirtió en un fan del equipo londinense Arsenal FC. Después de finalizar la escuela primaria a mediados de los setenta, estudió literatura inglesa en la Universidad de Cambridge. Al finalizar su licenciatura, trabajó como profesor de Inglés en el Parkside Community College en Cambridge, a la vez que escribía artículos y críticas musicales para revistas como Time Out y Literary Review. En 1983, comenzó su carrera como escritor y periodista. Su obra Sus novelas se caracterizan por el tratamiento de las relaciones humanas, de una manera realista pero tierna. Sus protagonistas son antihéroes, desde el punto de vista de que son en cierto grado, algo mezquinos, cobardes y egoístas, aunque sean buenas personas. Varias de sus novelas han dado el salto del papel al cine: en 1997, Nick Hornby escribió el guion para la adaptación de su novela Fever Pitch, (en España Fuera de juego) protagonizada en la pantalla por el británico Colin Firth. En el 2000, no participó de la adaptación de High Fidelity, (en España Alta fidelidad protagonizada por John Cusack. Después del éxito de esta película, About a Boy (en España Un niño grande) fue estrenada en el 2002, con Hugh Grant en el papel principal. Finalmente, A Long Way Down (en España Mejor otro día)`fue estrenada en 2014 con Pierce Brosnan y Toni Collette en los papeles principales. Sus obras gozan de gran popularidad en el Reino Unido y en Estados Unidos.
