Author Biography
James Vance Marshall is the pseudonym of Donald Payne (b. 1924). Only half a dozen Marshall novels have appeared in the last fifty years but they have sold several million copies and been translated into seventeen languages. Two, including Walkabout, have been made into films. "Walkabout" is a work of collaboration between Donald Payne and the Australian James Vance Marshall (1887 1964). Marshall spent much of his life in the outback of Australia a part of the world he knew intimately and loved deeply. He wrote a series of articles about the people, flora, and fauna of the outback, and with his permission, Payne used these articles as background for their novel Walkabout. Subsequently, and with the consent of Marshall s son, Payne continued to publish under the pseudonym Marshall; his most recent book is Stories from the Billabong (2008), a collection of Aboriginal legends retold as stories for children. Lee Siegel is the author of four books, including "Against the Machine: How the Web Is Reshaping Culture and Commerce and Why It Matters" and "Are You Serious: How to Be True and Get Real in the Age of Silly." He has written essays and reviews for many publications, including "Harper s Magazine," "The New Republic," "The Atlantic Monthly," and "The New York Times." In 2002, he received the National Magazine Award for Reviews and Criticism."
