From the Paper:

"The name "John Grisham" is nearly synonymous with the courtroom/law suspense novel, a genre he and Scott Turow dominated at the end of the twentieth century. Before becoming a best-selling author, Grisham was a lawyer who billed dozens of hours a week from a small Mississippi law office. Today, he puts in as many hours at his desk, creating detailed--if sometimes convoluted--tales of situations that would no doubt cause real life lawyers to reconsider their career choices if such cases truly crossed their desks. Does Grisham's background as a lawyer affect his literary career? What else, if anything affects the choices he makes as an author? What does the future hold for this author's literary career?"
