Thomas Harris (born April 11, 1940) is an American author and screenwriter, best known for a series of suspense novels about his most famous character, Hannibal Lecter. All of his works have been made into films, the most notable being the multi-Oscar winning The Silence of the Lambs, which became only the third film in Academy Award history to sweep the Oscars in major categories.. Harris was born in Jackson, Tennessee, but moved as a child with his family to Rich, Mississippi. He was introverted and bookish in grade school and then blossomed in high school. He attended Baylor University in Waco, Texas, where he majored in English and graduated in 1964. While in college, he worked as a reporter for the local newspaper, the Waco Tribune-Herald, covering the police beat. In 1968, he moved to New York City to work for the Associated Press until 1974 when he began work on Black Sunday.
My Opinion: Many of us were thrilled by the introduction to Hannibal the cannibal in the Silence of the Lambs. (book and movie) Only recently did I stumble upon the authors other works involving Hannibal; (Hannibal and Red Dragon) These books are just as fascinating as his first effort and well worth reading. I have recently read Hannibal Rising and Black Sunday and they are good reads. Some of the Hannibal series can be pretty gross but if you likes Silence of the Lambs, you will want to know more about Hannibal. I recommend his work.
