Tim Dowling

Tim Dowling is an American-born journalist and columnist who has lived in London for decades and writes a hugely popular weekly column for The Guardian about family life, marriage and the absurdities of everyday domestic existence. His writing is sharp, self-deprecating and genuinely funny, turning the mundane dramas of parenting and partnership into brilliant comic material. Dowling's willingness to present himself as the bewildered, slightly hapless participant in his own family life has made him one of the most beloved newspaper columnists in Britain. His books and audiobooks offer readers and listeners laugh-out-loud funny reflections on modern family life.
