NCJC Interview: Barry Eisler
The NC Japan Center was extremely honored to interview Mr. Barry Eisler! Barry is the New York Times bestselling author of the popular John Rain and Livia Lone series of thrillers, and worked previously in a covert position for the CIA’s Directorate of Operations. He was also a technology lawyer and startup executive in Japan and Silicon Valley before starting his career as a critically acclaimed novelist. In Part 1, Barry tells us about his background, how he was first introduced to Japan, and how the character of “John Rain” was created. Barry also talks about his time living and working in Japan, as well as his writing process and “pearls of wisdom” for aspiring writers. Part 2 coming soon!
