I don't know the author or the book you're talking
about, but I was interested when you said he sold his
first novel at age 20! I'm guessing there are some
aspiring writers on this list, so I'd be interested on
how he got published. was it a hard process? did he
get a lot of initial rejections? Also, I'd be
interested in who he's been influenced by in writing;
what he likes to read; his favorite books, etc...
