Clifford Michael Irving (born November 5, 1930) is an American investigative reporter and novelist. Although he has written and published twenty books under his own name, he is best known for a fictional "autobiography" of Howard Hughes in the early 1970s. After Hughes denounced him and sued the publisher, McGraw-Hill, Irving confessed to the hoax and was sentenced to two and a half years in prison, of which he served 17 months. Irving's 1981 book titled ''The Hoax'' is the author's version of events surrounding the fake autobiography. The book was made into a 2006 biopic of the same name starring Richard Gere as Clifford Irving. He is most active now as an author of electronic books available via Kindle and Nook.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amazon.com/Clifford-Irving/e/B000APHZ4O/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1 )〕 ==Early life and writing career== Irving grew up in New York City, the son of Jay Irving, a ''Collier's'' cover artist and the creator of the syndicated comic strip ''Pottsy'', and Dorothy. After graduating in 1947 from Manhattan's High School of Music and Art, Irving attended Cornell University, graduated with honors in English, and worked on his first novel, ''On a Darkling Plain'' (Putnam, 1956), while he was a copy boy at ''The New York Times''. He completed his second novel, ''The Losers'' (1958), as he traveled throughout Europe. On the Spanish island of Ibiza, he met an Englishwoman, Claire Lydon; they married in 1958 and moved to California, where she died at Big Sur in an automobile accident on May 8, 1959. Irving later married English author Maureen "Moish" Earl and from 1984 to 1998 lived mainly in the mountain town of San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico. Irving's third novel, ''The Valley'' (1960), is a mythic Western saga, published by McGraw-Hill. In 1962, after a year spent traveling around the world and living in a houseboat in Kashmir, Irving moved back to Ibiza with his third wife, English photographic model Fay Brooke, and their newborn son, Josh. This marriage ended in divorce. In 1967, he married Swiss/German artist Edith Sommer, and they had two sons, John Edmond (aka "Nedsky") and Barnaby. In Ibiza he was friendly with Hungarian art forger Elmyr de Hory and was asked by De Hory to write the painter's biography, ''Fake!'' (1969). Irving and de Hory are both featured in Orson Welles' documentary ''F for Fake'' (1974).
