Jonathan Ames (/eɪmz/; born March 23, 1964)[1] is an American author who has written a number of novels and comic memoirs, and is the creator of two television series, Bored to Death (HBO) and Blunt Talk (STARZ). In the late '90s and early 2000s, he was a columnist for the New York Press for several years, and became known for self-deprecating tales of his sexual misadventures. He also has a long-time interest in boxing, appearing occasionally in the ring as "The Herring Wonder".[2]
Two of his novels have been adapted into films: The Extra Man in 2010, and You Were Never Really Here in 2017.[3] Ames was a co-screenwriter of the former and an executive producer of the latter.
