Thomas Hauser
Author and novelist Thomas Hauser made his debut as a writer in 1978 with The Execution of Charles Hormon, which became known simply as Missing after the release of the 1982 Costa-Gavras film it inspired. Missing was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, Bancroft Prize, and the National Book Award. His thriller, The Beethoven Conspiracy, won the Prix de Lafayette-a French literary prize awarded biannually to an outstanding book by an American author. Hauser is also the author of Muhammed Ali: His Life and Times, a definitive biography of the sports legend and humanitarian.
