ⓘ About Irving Wallace

Known for his highly entertaining populist novels, the American novelist and screenwriter Irving Wallace successfully accumulated a number of works during his lifetime to much acclaim, as he knew his audience and precisely what they were looking for in their reading material. Whilst the critical establishment may have been a little more reticent towards his work seeing it as somewhat ‘lowbrow’, the general public were a lot more open to what he had to offer. This was something he was well aware of though, catering to his audience well creating a highly successful career in the dual industries of both film and literature.
