Tim Dowling Career
Dowling worked as a data entry clerk for a cinema database before becoming a freelance journalist, first for GQ, then for women’s magazines, and finally for the Independent on Sunday. He is a columnist for The Guardian, with a weekly column in Weekend, the paper’s Saturday magazine. In 2007, he took over Jon Ronson’s column. He writes observational essays, most of which are about his wife.”Dowling’s a very fresh and smart writer, as he needs to be,” said Sam Leith of The Guardian. Stories like machete massacres or ebola pandemics almost write themselves: the real test is writing about nothing much, week in and week out.”Dowling also worked briefly as a cartoonist.
Dowling’s books include King Camp Gillette, the inventor of the disposable razor, a collection of his writing from The Guardian, and The Giles Wareing Haters’ Club, his 2007 debut novel about a journalist Googling himself (narcissurfing) who discovers an online club of people who hate him, inspired by Dowling searching for his name online. TLS reviewed Giles Wareing. It is described as “a fine comedy of domestic triviality” by Metro. “It got quite a bit of publicity in the U.K. when it came out, and [my wife] wasn’t prepared for all that,” Dowling said of his 2014 book How to Be a Husband.
