His work has been translated into twenty languages.

Kunzru was born in London to an Indian Kashmiri Pandit father and a British mother.

He grew up in Essex and educated at Bancroft's School.

He studied English at Wadham College, Oxford, then gained an MA in Philosophy and Literature from University of Warwick.

In his teens, Kunzru decided that he did not believe in formal religion or God, and is "opposed to how religion is used to police people."

His first novel, The Impressionist (2003), had a £1 million-plus advance and was well received critically with excellent sales.

2004

His second novel, Transmission, was published in the summer of 2004.

In 2004 the "supersonic supernatural drama" Sound Mirrors was dramatised as part of the BBC Radio 3 drama strand, The Wire.

It was a collaboration between Kunzru and DJ producers, Coldcut.

Although he was also awarded The John Llewellyn Rhys prize for writers under 35, the second oldest literary prize in the UK, he turned it down on the grounds that it was backed by the Mail on Sunday whose "hostility towards black and Asian people" he felt was unacceptable.

In a statement read out on his behalf, he stated, "As the child of an immigrant, I am only too aware of the poisonous effect of the Mail's editorial line ... The atmosphere of prejudice it fosters translates into violence, and I have no wish to profit from it."

He further went on to recommend that the award money be donated to the charity Refugee Council.

He is Deputy President of English PEN.

2005

In 2005 he published the short story collection Noise.

His fourth novel, Gods Without Men, was released in August 2011.

Set in the American south-west, it is a fractured story about multiple characters across time.

2012

In 2012 at the Jaipur Literature Festival he, along with three other authors, Ruchir Joshi, Jeet Thayil and Amitava Kumar, risked arrest by reading excerpts from Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses, which remains unpublished in India due to fear of controversy.

Kunzru later wrote, "Our intention was not to offend anyone's religious sensibilities, but to give a voice to a writer who had been silenced by a death threat."

The reading Drew Sharp criticism from Muslim groups as being a deliberately provocative move to gain publicity for the four authors.

Kunzru himself admitted in an interview that he was asked to leave by the festival organizers as his presence was likely to "inflame an already volatile situation."

2016

In 2016, Kunzru visited Israel, as part of a project by the "Breaking the Silence" organization, to write an article for a book on the Israeli occupation, to mark the 50th anniversary of the Six-Day War.
