Lee Child Biografía y Hechos

James Dover Grant[1]​ (Coventry, 29 de octubre de 1954), conocido por su seudónimo Lee Child, es un escritor británico de thrillers. El protagonista de sus novelas es Jack Reacher, un exoficial de la policía militar norteamericana que, después de dejar el ejército, decide comenzar una vida de vagabundo a lo largo de Estados Unidos.[2]​ Biografía Hijo de un funcionario,[3]​ Lee Child nació en Coventry en 1954, pero a los cuatro años se mudó con sus padres y sus tres hermanos a Birmingham.[4]​ Grant asistió a la Escuela Primaria Cherry Orchard en Handsworth Wood hasta la edad de 11 años. En 1974 ingresó en la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de Sheffield,[5]​ pero sin la intención de desarrollar esos estudios profesionalmente. Concluida su etapa universitaria comienza a trabajar en Granada Television hasta 1995.[5]​ Carrera literaria Después de abandonar su trabajo tras una restructuración de la compañía, Grant decide que quiere empezar a escribir novelas.[6]​ En 1997 apareció Killing Floor, su ópera prima, y en el año siguiente se fue a vivir a Estados Unidos.[7]​ Su seudónimo de escritor, "Lee", viene de una broma familiar por un error de pronunciación de Renault's Le Car, mientras que "Child" era un truco para aparecer en las estanterías de las librerías entre dos estrellas de la literatura de misterio como Raymond Chandler y Agatha Christie.[8]​ Según Grant, eligió el nombre Reacher (alcanzador, en español) para el protagonista de sus novelas un día que hacía la compra con su mujer Jane en un supermercado. Jane le dijo que, como Grant era muy alto, si no tenía éxito como escritor siempre podría trabajar en un supermercado alcanzando a la gente los artículos que estaban más arriba. Algunos libros de la saga Jack Reacher están escritos en primera persona mientras que otros son en tercera persona. Child caracterizó los libros como historias de venganza, inspirado por el sentimiento de rabia que sintió al ser despedido. A pesar de ser británico siempre se ha definido por un estilo de thriller norteamericano. En 2007, Grant colaboró con otros 14 escritores para crear un thriller radiofónico de 17 episodios narrados por Alfred Molina y emitido en Audible.com desde el 25 de septiembre hasta el 13 de noviembre de 2007. Grant fue elegido presidente de la asociación Mystery Writers of America en 2009. En 2012 el guionista y director estadounidense Christopher McQuarrie adaptó al cine la novela Un disparo (One Shot) con el título de Jack Reacher y Tom Cruise como protagonista. Esta película tuvo una secuela en la que se adaptó Nunca vuelvas atrás como Jack Reacher: Never Go Back en 2016. En 2014 obtuvo el VIII Premio RBA de Novela Policiaca por su obra Personal (Personal). Desde 2020 colabora con su hermano Andrew Child en la escritura de los libros de la serie de Jack Reacher, comenzando con la novela The Sentinel.[9]​ En 2022 los libros nuevamente son adaptados, esta vez para televisión, en la serie Reacher. Su primera temporada se estrenó el 4 de enero de 2022, adaptando Zona peligrosa. El 14 de diciembre de 2023 se estrenó la segunda temporada, que adapta Mala suerte. Su obra ha sido traducida a cuarenta y ocho idiomas y lleva vendidos más de cien millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo. El argentino Aldo Giacometti es el traductor al español elegido por el autor.
