About the author (2009)

Jonathan Swan's parents predicted from an early age he would be an author, albeit of his own downfall. Instead he wrote Quack Magic, a history of dubious medical cures, and the best-selling Man Walks into a Bar 2, and knows more jokes than is probably healthy for anyone. When not eavesdropping on strangers to see if he can pick up any new one-liners, he lives in London with his wife and three children, who all remain determined to never laugh at anything he says.
