Autorenporträt
"After college I spent 4 years in the Navy, reading Pound and then Olson and, of course, the dozens of writers those giants insisted one must have familiarity with, before even thinking of adding a word to the conversation. Oh, I aspired to those heights! But time carried me to a different place. I'm an antiquarian book dealer and a writer, so I've got the best of both worlds.I began in the bookselling trade in 1976 and had been an inveterate scribbler since the 1960s, but I didn't become a writer until 1999. Sadly ("ironically" doesn't seem apt here), I'm a writer because my son Galen was killed in a school shooting in 1992. In in the wake of this event, in order to keep from harming or killing myself or anyone else, I determined to pour my energies into answering the question foremost in everyone's mind, mine foremost - "How could this have happened?"A lengthy and therapeutic investigation led to my first book, Gone Boy, followed by four more books. And now this calm, demented one."
