Recommended authors, etc.
Jonathan Franzen
- If you're a fan of fiction, you have to read The Corrections. If
you haven't already.
Jeffrey Eugenides
- Same for Middlesex. Wow.
Colin
Harrison - Writes great literary thrillers. Highly recommended. Check
out Afterburn.
Larry
McMurtry - Gifted author whose characters are more real than many people
I know. As a kid I couldn't believe such a talented author lived just down
the road.
Brian
Greene - My favorite science writer. He explains particle physics with
language and metaphors the rest of us can understand. The Elegant Universe
was nominated for the Pulitzer. The Fabric of the Cosmos may be even
better.
Stephen King -
You don't need the link, sure, but I have to mention him. The writer who
led me out of the dark and into the light.
Nelson DeMille
- Wow. What a great writer of suspense and thrillers. And then there is
The Gold Coast. One of my favorite novels ever.
Charlie Huston -
He writes pulp. He writes noir. He kicks ass. Caught Stealing and
Six Bad Things are fantastic. His new one is Already Dead.
Dennis Lehane
- You know him from Mystic River, but this guy has been a great writer
for years.
Tom
Perrotta - Election is perhaps his best-known book (the movie
adaptation is an all-time favorite) but his novels are full of great characters,
witty, intelligent prose, and unflinching observations about contemporary
society.
John
Grisham - A master of suspense and cinematic storytelling. The Rainmaker
is still my favorite. Fantastic opening line.
Lincoln Child - Writes
popular thrillers with Douglas Preston and has recently penned a couple
of solo efforts. His latest is Death Match.
Robert McKee - You
want to understand the mechanics of storytelling? Buy his book Story.
I've never read anything that helped me understand my craft better than
this book.
Ed Stackler -
Freelance editor who introduced me to the world of publishing, and a good
friend. Very talented and intelligent man.
