New York-born Herman Wouk has achieved an unusual degree of international success, even for a best-selling American author. His books have been published in twenty-eight languages - the most recent being Icelandic - and when the People's Republic of China translated The Winds of War and War and Remembrance, he was quickly established as their most popular living foreign novelist. Earlier novels, such as Marjorie Morningstar and the Pulitzer Prize-winning Caine Mutiny, have long been considered world classics, while his one venture into nonfiction, This Is My God, has become a basic guide to the Jewish religion. As a dramatist he has seen The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial become a perennial favorite both here and abroad, and his teleplay of The Winds of War draw the largest audience in television history. He and his wife, Betty Sarah, who is also his literary agent, divide their time between homes in Palm Springs and Georgetown, with frequent sojourns in Israel. His recreation is walking and trail-climbing with his German shepherd dog; his avocation, Judaic study. Usually, however, he is writing, on yellow legal pads, the pages of which are now being filled with the new teleplay of War and Remembrance and the beginning of a new novel.
