Of course, I am going to start the reviews off with Lionel Shriver’s most popular book. She prefers to write about real things happening in the world and leaves people with something to think about. Shriver doesn’t like writing traditional characters that readers are immediately sympathetic to. What makes an author like Lionel Shriver stand out is that all of her best books have characters that are, in her words, “hard to love”. She was a tomboy growing up and didn’t think her birth name suited her, so she decided to legally change it to Lionel. All In The NameĪ fun fact about Shriver is that she was born Margaret Ann but decided to change her name when she was 15 years old. When Kevin became a success, it spurred Lionel Shriver on and she has continued to release best-selling books, ten of which I will be reviewing in this article. Shriver had written eight previous novels, all of which she considered to be professional disappointments. It was actually the novel that was her “make or break” about whether she would continue to write or not. Born in America, Shriver currently lives in the United Kingdom and is most known for her book We Need to Talk About Kevin, which won her the Orange Prize for Fiction.
Lionel Shriver is an author who needs no introduction.
