Alexander Stuart

Alexander Stuart is a Californian novelist, screenwriter and film producer, whose life has been largely devoted to parenting. His novels, non-fiction and children's books have been translated into eight languages and published in the US, Britain, Europe and throughout the world.

His most controversial novel, The War Zone, about a family torn apart by incest, was turned into a profoundly emotional film by Oscar-nominated actor/director Tim Roth. Among Stuart's other movies is Insignificance, Nicolas Roeg's hypnotic comedy-thriller about a wild night's encounter between Albert Einstein and Marilyn Monroe, which Stuart produced.

Born in Britain but long an American citizen, Stuart is married to Charong Chow and lives in northern California surrounded by the beauty of the Pacific and the natural world that sustains him.
