William M. Adler has written for many national and regional magazines, including Esquire, Rolling Stone, Mother Jones and the Texas Observer. In addition to THE MAN WHO NEVER DIED, he has authored two other books of narrative nonfiction: LAND OF OPPORTUNITY (Atlantic Monthly Press, 1995), an intimate look at the rise and fall of a crack cocaine empire, and MOLLIE’S JOB (Scribner, 2000), which follows the flight of a single factory job from the US to Mexico over the course of fifty years. His work explores the intersection of individual lives and the larger forces of the times, and it describes the gap between American ideals and American realities. Adler lives with his wife and son in Denver, Colorado.
