More About the Author

Mark Winegardner was born and raised in Bryan, Ohio, near Exit 2, a town of 8,000 which supplies the world with its Dum-Dum suckers and Etch-a-Sketches. His parents owned an RV dealership there, and every summer he traveled with his family across the USA in various travel trailers and motorhomes. By the time he was 15, he had been in all 48 contiguous states. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa and magna cum laude from Miami University and went on to receive a master of fine arts degree in fiction writing from George Mason University. He published his first book at age 26, while still in graduate school. He has taught at Miami, George Mason, George Washington, and John Carroll Universities, and is now a professor in the creative writing program at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida.

Winegardner has won grants, fellowships and residencies from the Ohio Arts Council, the Lilly Endowment, the Ragdale Foundation, the Sewanee Writers Conference and the Corporation of Yaddo. His books have been chosen as among the best of the year by the New York Times Book Review, Chicago Sun-Times, Los Angeles Times, the New York Public Library, and USA Today. His work has appeared in GQ, Playboy, Ploughshares, TriQuarterly, DoubleTake, Family Circle, The Sporting News, Witness, Story Quarterly, American Short Fiction, Ladies Home Journal, Parents and The New York Times Magazine. Several of his stories have been chosen as Distinguished Stories of the Year in The Best American Short Stories.

This review is from: The Godfather: The Lost Years (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the same book as another title by this author. If you already have the other one don't buy this one like I did.

This review is from: The Godfather: The Lost Years (Mass Market Paperback)

I have this book in audiobook form. I hung on every word. I read for entertainment - I didn't care if this book veered from the original Godfather - a few names or dates changed, someone left out, new characters added. This book was GREAT. Since I haven't seen or read the original Godfather book for many years, I wasn't looking for exact details. Every character and situation was enjoyed by me and I would recommend this book to everyone as a GREAT READ for pleasurable reading.
