British and Irish Literature

Matthew Kneale is a British writer, born in 1960. He is best known for his 2000 novel English Passengers, which is also the title Open Library lists first among his works. Open Library counts twenty-two works under his main record and holds further entries for the novel under variant spellings of his name, which shows how widely it circulated. The record links his name to Wikidata, VIAF and the Library of Congress name authority file, so that readers can match him to the same author in other catalogues. He is a living author, and his place in this atlas rests on his published fiction rather than on any single award.
