John Niven

John Niven is a Scottish author and screenwriter well-known for his fiction.

His memoir ‘O Brother’ offers a new side to John, and honest look at his grief following his brother’s suicide in 2010 at the age of 42, after years of chaotic struggle against the world.

In ‘O Brother’ John addresses head-on the often misunderstood topic of male suicide, and questions the lack of social support for those struggling with mental health as well as issues of class prejudice and family divides.
