Laurence Gonzales
Laurence Gonzales’s first book was Jambeaux (1979), which Rolling Stone called “the best rock-and-roll novel since Harlan Ellison’s Spider’s Kiss, which is to say it’s the best in almost twenty years.” Since 1970, Gonzales’s essays have appeared in such periodicals as Harper’s, Rolling Stone, Men’s Journal, National Geographic Adventure and many others. He has published a dozen books, including two collections of essays, three novels and the book-length essay One Zero Charlie, a classic of aviation literature. He won the 2001 and 2002 National Magazine Awards, and those articles went on to become part of Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why.
