Herman Wouk Pens Book to Celebrate 100th Birthday

By Dianna Dilworth 

Pulitzer Prize-winning American author Herman Wouk is turning 100 next week. To celebrate, he is writing a book.

His book “Sailor and Fiddler: Reflections of a 100-Year-Old Author” will come out from Simon & Schuster this December. The memoir will cover Wouk’s years in the Navy during World War II, the inspiration for his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “The Caine Mutiny.” The new book is already available for presale on Amazon.

The Associated Press has more: “In a statement issued through Simon & Schuster, Wouk calls his new work a “light-hearted memoir” and thanks readers who have stayed with him “for the long pull.””
