William Goldman had published five novels and had three plays produced on Broadway before he began to write screenplays. Several of his novels he later used as the foundation for his screenplays.
In the 1980s he wrote a series of memoirs looking at his professional life on Broadway and in Hollywood (in one of these he famously remarked that "Nobody knows anything"). He then returned to writing novels. He then adapted his novel The Princess Bride to the screen, which marked his re-entry into screenwriting.
Goldman won two Academy Awards: an Academy Award for Writing Original Screenplay for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and an Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay for All the President's Men. He also won two Edgar Awards, from the Mystery Writers of America, for Best Motion Picture Screenplay: for Harper in 1967, and for Magic (adapted from his own 1976 novel) in 1979.
Goldman died in New York City on November 16, 2018, due to complications from colon cancer and pneumonia. He was eighty-seven years old.

Si, como yo, has visto la película antes de leer el libro, este no te va aportar gran cosa porque es prácticamente lo mismito.
Un poco decepcionante, la verdad.
Y todo lo relacionado al proceso de escritura y resumen del libro que nos cuentan me ha parecido de lo más aburrido 🥱
3/5 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
🟢 Semáforo contenido sensible animal.
