Mark Watson

Besides being known as a stand-up, Mark Watson is the author of four acclaimed novels. Hotel Alpha is his most ambitious and accomplished novel to date. Set over thirty years in a grand London hotel, it is the story of its charismatic owner whose illusions are underpinned by a secret, narrated by two people each in his thrall. It’s also about the coming of the internet and how the digital revolution has transformed the ways in which we understand the world, other people and ourselves.
