IRVING WALLACE is the highly successful author of The Fan Club, The Man, The Plot, The Prize, The R Document, The Seven Minutes, The Word and many others. With his son David Wallechinsky (the real family name) he coauthored The People’s Almanac. Even his wife Sylvia has written a successful novel.
Before Irving Wallace was a highly acclaimed writer, he occasionally wrote for Liberty magazine. It is from those pages that these nostalgic glimpses come.
