전기 및 작가의 여정
Lawrence Wright built his career from an education and apprenticeship that gave him both a Texas grounding and a durable interest in the wider world. Educated at Tulane University and the American University in Cairo, he began professionally at The Race Relations Reporter in Nashville in 1971. A major turn came in 1980, when he joined Texas Monthly, sharpening the long-form, scene-driven reporting that would become his signature; another came in 1992, when he joined The New Yorker as a staff writer. From there, he developed into an established American narrative journalist working at the intersection of politics, religion, culture, and power.
