Mark Hodkinson

Mark Hodkinson is a British author, journalist, and publisher known for his passionate, personal writing about music, place, and the lives of ordinary people. He founded Pomona Books and has written about subjects ranging from Northern English life to popular music with equal commitment and literary skill. No One Round Here Reads Tolstoy is a memoir and social portrait of life in a Northern English town, exploring the disconnect between literary culture and the everyday realities of working-class communities. Hodkinson writes with love, anger, and sharp observation about the place he comes from and the people who live there. The audiobook and book versions offer listeners and readers a powerful, honest account of class, culture, and belonging in modern Britain. Hodkinson's work appeals to readers of memoir and social commentary who appreciate writing that is both deeply personal and politically engaged.
