James Patterson by James Patterson

James Patterson by James Patterson (USA 2024)

From the Publisher:
How did a kid whose dad lived in the poorhouse become the most successful storyteller in the world? This "fizzing, funny, often deeply moving" (Daily Mail) #1 New York Times bestselling memoir is "damn near addictive. I loved it... that Patterson guy can write!" (Ron Howard)

James Patterson's best stories are the stories of his life.

- On the morning he was born, he nearly died.
- His dad grew up in the Pogey- the Newburgh, New York, poorhouse.
- He worked at a mental hospital in Massachusetts, where he met the singer James Taylor and the poet Robert Lowell.
- While he toiled in advertising hell, James wrote the ad jingle line "I'm a Toys ‘R' Us Kid."
- He once watched James Baldwin and Norman Mailer square off to trade punches at a party.
- He's only been in love twice. Both times are amazing.
- Dolly Parton sang "Happy Birthday" to James over the phone. She calls him J.J., for Jimmy James.

He has always wanted to write the kind of novel that would be read and reread so many times that the binding breaks and the book literally falls apart. As he says, "I'm still working on that one."

So how did he wind up writing, and reading, so many books? This is a mystery story. Actually, come to think of it, quite a few people die.
