Series Title:
Critical Companions to Popular Contemporary Writers
Reviews:
One of a series of companions to popular literature, this volume focuses on six of Turow's best-selling novels. The introductory chapters provide a brief biography of the "literary lawyer," as he is called here, and describe his literary influences. The discussions of the novels cover their structure, themes, character development and use of genre conventions. The text is written for the general reader.

Description:
Scott Turow is a novelist, lawyer, and humanist who has fused his two passions, writing and the law, to create challenging novels that raise significant legal issues and test the justice of present laws. In all of his books, Turow reveals the moral ambiguities that afflict both accuser and accused, and challenges his readers to reconsider their preconceived notions of justice. Beginning with
One-L
, his first published work about the first-year law school experience, Turow continues to capture his readers' imagination with books such as
Presumed Innocent
and
Burden of Proof
.
