DOCTOROW,whose work has been translated into more than 30 languages, is one of America's most celebrated writers, with a career spanning half a century.

[and] enormous fun to read” (Walter Clemons, Newsweek), became an international bestseller and was made into a film and a Broadway musical nominated for 8 Academy Awards and 12 Tony Awards, respectively.=0D=0A=His other major works include the bestselling novels Billy Bathgate, World's Fair, The March, City of God, Loon Lake, and Welcome to the Hard Times, as well as several volumes of essays and stories.
