Bill Bryson

By Scott P. Richert

No one is born a famous writer, beloved and read by millions of teens and adults. Readers of the books in Today's Writers and Their Works will learn the story behind each writer's story: for example, how Amy Tan became a best-selling author with her first novel, even though she felt she could not write well; how Haruki Murakami closed his sports bar to fulfill his dream of writing full-time; how Bill Bryson's move to England facilitated his wry point of view. In addition to telling the writer's story, each book includes an in-depth examination of the most widely read works of each author. for literature lovers, aspiring writers, and those who have reports to write, there is no better source of information.
