Description



About the Book



"WORDMAN is a must-read account of America's experience in Micronesia by P.F. Kluge, a Peace Corps Volunteer in Saipan, Mariana Islands, 1967-69. Later a director of the constitutional convention that created the Federated States of Micronesia, Kluge is the author of the preamble to the constitution. But, WORDMAN is more than a peek behind the curtain of America's involvement in the Pacific. It is also an example of how a writer gets material and how experience translates into literature. This book is for readers and writers who want a glimpse into a writer's life. Kluge, who has published 13 books, began in journalism, as a writer for The Wall Street Journal, then LIFE magazine and later freelanced for magazines like Rolling Stone and Reader's Digest. Two films, Dog Day Afternoon and Eddie and the Cruisers were made from his work. And as the long-time writer-in-residence at Kenyon College, Kluge taught writing and literature to scores of students including a few exceptional writers like John Green and Ransom Riggs, both of whom have sold millions of books and had films make of their work"--
