Leslie Epstein
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leslie Epstein (born 1938 in Los Angeles, CA) is an American novelist. He has written nine novels including King of the Jews (1979), Pandaemonium (1997), and San Remo Drive: A Novel from Memory (2004), based on his childhood growing up in Hollywood in the 1940s and 50s. His most recent novel The Eighth Wonder of the World was published by Other Press in October 2006. He has written articles for Esquire (magazine), The Atlantic Monthly, Playboy, Harper's, The Yale Review, The Nation, The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post and The Boston Globe. He is currently the director of the Creative Writing Program at Boston University. In February 2007, the world premiere of his play "King of the Jews" (not an adaptation of his earlier novel, but an independent realization of the same theme) occurred at Boston University to critical acclaim.
Epstein's father Philip G. Epstein and uncle Julius J. Epstein were screenwriters and won an Academy Award for Casablanca.
His son Theo Epstein is the General Manager of the Boston Red Sox. His daughter Anya Epstein is a television writer.
