Dan Rhodes is an English writer, possibly best known for the novel Timoleon Vieta Come Home, a subversion of the popular Lassie Come Home movie. He is also the author of Anthropology, a collection of 101 stories, each consisting of 101 carefully chosen words. In 2010 he was awarded the E. M. Forster Award Following the publication of his second book, Rhodes's frustration with the publishing industry led him to announce his retirement from writing, though he later said, "I haven't really given up. I'm certainly not making any more grand pronouncements. I was just sick of the business and wanted out. Not just the publishers; everyone around me." Rhodes was included on Granta's Best of Young British Novelists list in 2003, to his own bemusement and frustration, partly because of Granta's selection methods but also because some of the others on the list failed to respond to his request to sign a joint statement protesting against the Iraq war. Rhodes is married with one child.
