Reacher: The Stories Behind The Stories
$36.99
Reacher: The Stories Behind The Stories From global bestseller and creator of Jack Reacher, comes Lee Child's first-ever autobiographical collection.On Monday September 5th, 1994, at home, at the dining room table, I sat down to write. An hour later, I gave the first chapter to my wife. I asked, "Should I continue?""Yes," she said. "I like it."From global bestseller and creator of Jack Reacher, comes Lee Child's first-ever autobiographical collection.From urgently scribbling out his debut Killing Floor in pencil (the stub of which he still owns), to taking a step back with Blue Moon, and everything in between, here are 24 fascinating personal reflections on his life and work, crafted across decades.Whether it is through Lee's moving account of meeting a fan years after her mother brought her to a book signing, to facing his first computer and the coming of the internet, to writing about New York just before - and just after - 9/11, to later seeing his novels adapted for the big screen . . . each riveting piece deftly evokes where he was, psychologically and physically, when he wrote each novel.Lee has clearly felt unwavering gratitude for his readers since 1997. And these honest, witty and wise reflections were originally designed for fans of Reacher who may be interested in a 'behind-the-scenes' - or, in Lee's words- 'why the books turned out the way they did'.But this collection is also so much more. It is the story of a man who once put pencil to paper in an attempt to turn his luck around . . . and who made every word count.
