Louis Begley | Shipwreck
Recorded 4/22/2004
Listen to MP3 audio
Lawyer turned writer, Louis Begley first appeared on the literary landscape in 1991 with his loosely autobiographical holocaust fiction, Wartime Lies, for which he received a National Book Award nomination and a PEN/Ernest Hemingway First Fiction Award. Begley received wide acclaim again in 1996 with About Schmidt, which Bookpage called "a grimly witty, credible examination of a flawed, disappointed prince of privilege." The novel was adapted for a film written and directed by Alexander Payne. Begley's most recent novel is Shipwreck.
