With Child : Lee Child and the readers of Jack Reacher

Martin, Andrew, 1952-2019
Books, Manuscripts
Andy Martin spent a year in the company of Lee Child, creator of tough-guy hero Jack Reacher. 'With Child' is the diary of their adventures, tracking the publication and reception of 'Make Me', the writing of 'Night School' at an apartment in Manhattan, the filming of 'Never Go Back' in New Orleans, all the agony and ecstasy of the creative process and the sheer hard work of selling a bestseller. They go on the road together, from TV studios to bookstores, from Harvard to Stockholm, amid literary conferences and gunshows, rivalries and reviews ranging from adulatory to murderous. We meet fellow writers like Stephen King and David Lagercrantz and Karin Slaughter, and dissect the latest novel from Jonathan Franzen. But Martin also reaches out to Child's legion of readers in America and around the world.
