William Goldman

William Goldman Is One Of The World’S Most Popular Storytellers.. Amongst His More Than Two-Dozen Motion Picture Screenplays Are Such Iconic Works As Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, The Stepford Wives, All The President’S Men And A Bridge Too Far. His Acclaimed Novels Include The Temple Of Gold, Boys And Girls Together, The Princess Bride And Marathon Man. His Non-Fiction Embraces The Season And Adventures In The Screen Trade, Considered The Definitive Studies On Broadway And Hollywood Respectively.. Yet Despite His Success, Goldman Has Always Been A Tormented Man, Unable To Enjoy Either His Art Or The Respect It Has Garnered Him. Convinced He Is “In On A Pass,” He Has Rarely Written Without A Profound Sense Of Self-Doubt.. In William Goldman: The Reluctant Storyteller, Sean Egan Analyzes Both Goldman’S Life And Output, A Task In Which He Has Been Assisted By Goldman Himself Via A Series Of Interviews.. The Result Is An Enthralling Book That Gets To The Core Of A Man Who Is Both Supreme Talent And Perplexing Enigma.
