Ellis Sharp

Ellis Sharp is an experimental British writer based in London. Known for his often Surrealist style, Sharp's work is often littered with obscure literary and historical references.[1] His works include several collections of short stories, and novels The Dump, Unbelievable Things and Walthamstow Central, all released by Zoilus Press.[2] His work has also been published by Jetstone and Malice Aforethought Press, which was founded by Frank Key and Max Décharné.

Sharp's influences include Ann Quin, who is referenced in his collection Quin Again and Other Stories (2015).[3][4]

The novel Complicity by Iain Banks is dedicated to Sharp.[5]
