MARKUS ZUSAK
Australian author, Markus Zusak, was born in 1975 and made his writing debut in 1999 with his first work of fiction, The Underdog, and by 2001, Zusak had already written two more novels, Fighting Reuben Wolf and When Dogs Cry. His next novel, The Messenger, was published in 2003 and with it, he won numerous awards in Australia, America, and Europe. Perhaps his most highly-acclaimed novel is The Book Thief, which was published in 2005. The Book Thief is the novel that changed everything for this author. In the fall of 2013, 20th Century Fox produced a major motion picture based on the novel. Zusak's words are honest, raw, and challenging and call to the attention of his readers the greater issues of humanity. This award-winning author surely has great things coming and will likely further impact the writing world with his beautiful work. Today, Zusak resides in Sydney, Australia where he lives and writes with his wife and two children.
