Offer an investigation of the craft of writing, the negotiation of serious and popular literary concerns, and the artistic development of an author who wrote his first international bestseller when he was twenty-five years old. In tracing his artistic development from his earliest attempts at short stories and screenplays through his mature thrillers and entertainment fiction, this title makes significant use of unpublished primary source materials.
