Perle besserman biography of barack

To test her, I once told her I was majoring in Japanese because I was planning to become an industrial spy.

Perle Besserman published her first story when she was nine years old and hasn't stopped writing since. Originally trained as an actor, singer, and dancer, she brings her performance skills and lifelong love of the theater to her numerous award-winning fiction and creative nonfiction publications. Her books have been recorded and released in both audio and e-book versions and translated into over ten languages.

Perle holds a doctorate in Comparative Literature from Columbia University and has lectured, toured, taught, and appeared on television, radio, and in two documentary films about her work in the US, Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan, China, and the Middle East. A conversation between her and Pat Matsueda will appear in Ms. Aligned: Women Writing about Men, a book in development.

Besserman, Perle.

See an extract from the conversation at the Ms. Aligned website. Read her thoughts on the pros and cons of being a writer, a piece she wrote for the Penmen Review.
