After years promoting the careers of other writers, Oxford-educated literary agent Alex Christofi is set for his own taste of stardom with the recent release of his already-lauded debut novel, Glass.

The book, written in 2010, tells the story of a young half German window cleaner struggling to make his way in contemporary London as he cleans the windows of the Shard. Tipped as a 'talent to keep an eye on', 27 year old Christofi is also a published poet and has worked on theatre projects with The Old Vic as well as writing regular essays and reviews. He is currently researching his second novel set in France as his star quietly rises.
