Submarine (novel)

Submarine is a Bildungsroman, first published in 2008 by Hamish Hamilton and written by Joe Dunthorne, Submarine tells the story of fifteen-year-old Oliver Tate, a tale of mock GCSEs, sex and death.

Dunthorne wrote most of the book while studying creative writing at the University of East Anglia. Originally a short story, he posted the first chapter of the book on ABCtales.com. Its popularity on the site drove Dunthorne to write the full novel.

In 2010 Submarine was adapted for film by Richard Ayoade.
