The Man Behind the Da Vinci Code: The Unauthorized Biography of Dan Brown.

Melbourne, Carlton North: Scribe Publications, 2005. Australian ed.. Hardback small octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), black & white & colour photos centre spread, pages little toned as usual. 140 pp. Lisa Rogak provides an investigative biography of Dan Brown, author of the bestselling novel "The Da Vinci Code". Reveals how and why Brown became infatuated with secret societies. Why has he withdrawn from public life? A few years ago, he was an obscure author, with three novels in print that had sold fewer than 20,000 copies in total. Today, he is a mega-bestselling author, with more than 34 million copies of his fourth novel in print around the world. Reveals little-known details of Brown's unusual work habits - involving gravity boots, an antique hourglass, and voice-recognition technology. Why, in the face of a lawsuit for plagiarism, did Brown refuse to sign an affidavit unambiguously affirming he is the sole author of The Da Vinci Code? What links Brown's early career as a mid-level pop singer with his status as a bestselling author? Australian edition.
