David Peace (born 1967) is an English writer. Best known for his UK-set novels Red Riding Quartet (1999–2002), ''GB84'' (2004), ''The Damned Utd'' (2006), and ''Red or Dead'' (2013), Peace was named one of the Best of Young British Novelists by ''Granta'' in their 2003 list. His books often deal with themes of mental breakdown or derangement in the face of extreme circumstances. In an interview with David Mitchell, he stated: "I was drawn to writing about individuals and societies in moments that are often extreme, and often at times of defeat, be they personal or broader, or both. I believe that in such moments, during such times, in how we react and how we live, we learn who we truly are, for better or worse."
