thumb Nicholas Russel Fowler is a singer, songwriter, novelist, journalist, poet and actor born in Nuremberg, Germany. == Literary career == After winning a scholarship to Cornell University, Nick Fowler studied Creative Writing and Music there, graduating Dean's List. Fowler's first novel, ''A Thing (or Two) About Curtis and Camilla'', was in 2002 published in North America by Pantheon Books, an imprint of the Alfred A. Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, and by Hodder & Stoughton in the U.K. where the book became a bestseller. It was called by The Los Angeles Times “a smash, an irresistibly melodic debut” that “resonates like a perfect pop song,” while the Tallahassee Democrat observed "few novels, let alone first ones, deliver...wisdom with as much talent, humor, and emotional force. Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird comes to mind." Time Out London called the book "a deliriously funny first novel" with "genius observations.” The New York Times said "…the story is informed by an irresistible delight in its own telling." They called Fowler "an expansive, lyrical, inventive writer" in a full-page lead review that compared him to J.D. Salinger, Ernest Hemingway, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat, the number one U.K. bestseller, called Fowler's roman à clef “Terrific--full of passion and energy, but at the same time literary, quirky and with the same oblique and self-mocking charm that makes Breakfast at Tiffany’s such a hit.” The Orlando Sentinel said "…this love story is almost too good," hailing it as "…a tribute to the human spirit." ''A Thing (or Two)'' received additional praise from ''Big City Lit'', Publishers Weekly, and ''Book Slut''. Fowler's other prose has appeared in ''The Encyclopedia of Exes'' (Three Rivers Press/Random House), ''The Antioch Review'', New York University’s literary journal ''Epiphany'', the Berlin-based ''Pulse'', and online fiction journal ''Vice-Versa.'' Fowler's poetry has been published in ''The TriBeca Review'', and his journalism in ''GQ,'' ''POZ'',〔() and ()〕 ''Metal Edge'', ''Movie Mirror'', and Teen Beat. He has taught fiction writing at New York University, mediabistro and The New School. In 2015 he published on Amazon Kindle ''Music for Mice and Men (The Extended Release Love Song of C. Peddie Smout)'' which author Bruce Jay Friedman called "Stunning. Haunting. Fiercely and relentlessly engaging," predicting that the "...book will have a long shelf life-like forever.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nick Fowler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
