John Grisham
John Grisham (born February 8, 1955 in Jonesboro, Arkansas, USA) is an American writer best known for his legal thrillers, a former lawyer, and politician. After graduating from law school in 1981, he practiced law in Mississippi, which would later greatly influence his literary work. In his political career, he was a member of the Mississippi House of Representatives from 1983 to 1990.
He wrote his first novel, A Time to Kill (1989), inspired by a case he had worked on as a lawyer. Although it was not a great success at first, his second book, The Firm (1991), became an international bestseller and was adapted into a Hollywood film. This was followed by hits such as The Pelican Case, The Client, The Jury, The Last Juror, and many others.
Grisham has written more than 40 novels, many of which have been adapted into films and TV series. His works are characterized by an accessible style, suspenseful plots, moral dilemmas, and social criticism, often addressing corruption, the legal system, and the struggle for justice. Although best known for his thrillers, Grisham has also dabbled in other genres, including sports fiction and children's literature.
He currently lives in Virginia and Mississippi, actively writing and participating in various humanitarian initiatives.
