More About the Author

Russell H. Greenan was born in Manhattan in 1925, and reared in the Bronx. He attended New York public schools, graduating from Morris High in 1942. A year later, at the age of seventeen, he enlisted in the United States Navy. After the war, the GI Bill enabled him to complete his college education at Long Island University in Brooklyn. It was there he studied world literature.

In 1950 he travelled to Nice, France where he spent three months working on a novel that was never finished. He did not attempt another such venture until 1966 when, with his wife and three children, he returned to Nice and wrote It Happened in Boston? This novel has been translated into five foreign languages and is still in print in Italy, Switzerland and Germany. It is also available in the UK and USA in a Random House Modern Library edition.

Mr. Greenan has written many other novels since IHIB? - and though well into his eighties, continues to work.
