    WARREN ADLER Warren Adler/ Press Kit “Adler writes with skill and a sense of scene.” The New York Times Book Review STONEHOUSE PRODUCTIONS GARGI SHINDÉ CREATIVE DIRECTOR OFFICE: (212) 350-9356 CELL: (917) 596-1897 [email protected] WWW.WARRENADLER.COM .co Warren Adler/ Press Kit Acclaimed author, playwright, poet, and essayist Warren Adler is best known for The War of the Roses, his masterpiece fictionalization of a macabre divorce that was adapted into the iconic dark comedy that starred Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito. Following the success of his The War of the Roses, Adler went on to option and sell film rights to more than a dozen of his novels and short stories to Hollywood and major television networks. Random Hearts, The Sunset Gang, Private Lies, Funny Boys, Madeline’s Miracles, Trans-Siberian Express and his Fiona Fitzgerald mystery series are only a few titles that have forever left Adler’s mark on contemporary American authorship from page to stage to screen. Adler illuminates the intricacies of the modern American family through wit and realism, a trademark that has earned him the moniker ‘master of dysfunction’. He navigates the turbulent waters of the American political and social scene on the other hand with unsurpassed authenticity. His political thrillers such as The Henderson Equation, The Casanova Embrace, and American Quartet - a ‘New York Times notable crime book’ are born from his experiences as a former White House correspondent, and co-owner of Washington Dossier Magazine, chronicling the social history of the nation’s capital from 1975-1991.
