Jem Lester was a journalist for nine years and saw the Berlin Wall fall in 1989 and though there, he denies personal responsibility. He was also the last journalist to interview the legendary Fred Zinnemann, before the director died. He denies responsibility for that too. As Mister Lester, he taught English and Media studies at secondary schools for nine years. He has two children, one of whom is profoundly autistic and, for them, he accepts total responsibility. He lives in London with his partner, Catherine and her two children.
New and upcoming books
Jem Lester recommends
We Own the Sky (2018)
Luke Allnutt
"Allnutt provides a visceral, heartbreaking portrait of a father facing the loss of his 'beautiful boy.' Not the macho loss of football scarves and shared pints, but the inconceivable evaporation of memories, of smells and the warmth of physical contact with our children that can be all too fleeting."
