Danny Wattin grew up in a large boisterous family, where high volume discussions were a natural part of life. Early on, he learned how to shift perspective to make his way through the world. Sharing his time between his two homes, Sweden and Australia, today he makes a living as an author and a journalist.
After dabbling in a number of trades he made his debut as a writer in 2005, with highly acclaimed self-published short story collection Stockholm Tales. His first novel, See you in the Desert - Confessions of an Office Slave, was released in 2007.
Danny Wattin’s writing is filled with humour but has an underlying seriousness and a perspective that is slightly askew, at times screwball and absurd, but always following its own logic. His style has been described: “as if John Irving wrote Douglas Adams’ books” and his books compared to those of Kurt Vonnegut, Michail Bulgakov and John Kennedy Toole. His works are about life, death, and everything in between.
