James Bowen Biography

James Bowen is an author and busker based in London. His books A Street Cat Named Bob and The World According to Bob written with the author Garry Jenkins were both international best-sellers. James Bowen was born in Surrey in March 1979. Following his parents’ divorce he moved to Australia with his mother and stepfather. In 1997 he returned to the UK and lived with his half-sister but this arrangement did not last; in time he became homeless and began sleeping on the streets. From this point James spent almost 10 years either sleeping rough or staying briefly in charity-run shelters; it was during this time that he began to use heroin in an attempt to escape the realities of homelessness. In Spring 2007 James was enrolled on a methadone program busking in Covent Garden and living in sheltered accommodation in Tottenham London.
