More About the Author
Clifford Irving is the author of 20 published books, among them New York Times best-sellers Fake!, Trial, and Final Argument. Richard Gere starred as Clifford in the movie version of Hoax, the story of Clifford's most famous book, the Autobiography of Howard Hughes, which forced the billionaire out of seclusion, caused the downfall of Richard Nixon, and earned the writer 16 months in three federal prisons.
The L.A. Times called Clifford Irving "a master," and Thomas Keneally (Schindler's List) lauded Irving's The Angel of Zin as "absolutely compelling, a totally engrossing thriller."
This February 2012, as a birthday present, his computer-savvy son, Josh, has created a unique event - 12 of Clifford's works, published and unpublished, will be available simultaneously on Kindle, at remarkably low prices. 12 for 2012.
They include Clifford's thrilling prison journal, Jailing, excerpted in Playboy but withheld in full until now;
I Remember Amnesia, a new courtroom novel set in dangerous, glitzy East Hampton; Fake!, the sophisticated true tale of the most prolific art forger of the 20th century (think forged Picasso, Modigliani, and Matisse in top museums); best-sellers Trial and Final Argument, and, of course, the amazing Autobiography of Howard Hughes, never published in the USA except by a private printing rare enough to sell in hardback for $350, when you can find one.
These are bargain-priced, can't-put-down reads by the famous writer the New York Times Book Review praised as "a born storyteller."
He now lives with his Aussie wife in the Colorado Rockies, on the edge of a forest where he cuts firewood, paints, tends his flower garden, is regularly stumped by hard sudoku puzzles, and is writing a memoir called "Around the World in 80 Years."
