Nicholas Peter John Hornby[1][2] (born 17 April 1957) is an English writer and lyricist. He is best known for his memoir Fever Pitch (1992) and novels High Fidelity and About a Boy, all of which were adapted into feature films. Hornby's work frequently touches upon music, sport, and the aimless and obsessive natures of his protagonists. His books have sold more than 5 million copies worldwide as of 2018.[3] In a 2004 poll for the BBC, Hornby was named the 29th most influential person in British culture.[4][5] He has received two Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay nominations for An Education (2009), and Brooklyn (2015).
