Autorenporträt
Joanne and Gerry Dryansky grew up together in Queens, New York, a permanent couple since their first date when she was 14 and he 15. During most of their lives in Paris, rearing a son and daughter, they collaborated in Gerry¿s role as foreign correspondent and magazine writer for several noted American publications. They finally left Condé Nast behind to devote themselves to fiction and screenplays, combining Joanne¿s innate perceptivity and Gerry¿s analytical attitude. They say it¿s as if they¿ve shared their genes to bring to life a singular person who is Joanne and Gerry. Both focused their education on the English language, Joanne at Queens College. After Gerry¿s being graduated from Princeton Summa Cum Laude, Joanne tutored poor children while Gerry earned a master¿s from Harvard¿ before they ¿escaped¿ academia, for the wider world of journalism and for co-authoring novels and numerous optioned screenplays.
